Somebody suggested 'Heart of the UK' (also inaccurate). I guess I better revert back to 'Robin Hood Country' or consider 'North-East Nottinghamshire' and let everybody work out for themselves where that is.

Do they all have to be the same fabric? Gosh, this is exciting! Kathy Simi Valley, CA USA PS I'll do a test sheet of the Triangulations just to make absolutely sure of the size And I do have the Aurifil thread.

Spent the morning at my favorite quilt shop and returned with fusible half-square guides (2"). Should have asked before I ironed it on BUT now I'm wondering if the fusible is acceptable for the exchange. Is it? The instructions say it stays on and is light enough that it won't be noticed in the final quilt.

Wendy, I'm not sure how fusible's will work for this particular exchange. I would hesitate to do it because it would be left in the triangles and could cause some size difference compared to the other triangles since there is another layer, even though it's light. According to Edyta, even using a heavier thread could case the size to be different than the other triangles. If everyone were using the fusibles, then it wouldn't be a problem at all. I really don't know if there's a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

If anyone else has had experience with these fusibles triangles being used with papers that are removed, please respond.

Thanks, Debbie

I agree. Can you save the fusible triangles and do some paper ones for the exchange then add the ones you get back to those fusibles.

ajclapp OFFLINE Posts: 727 Thank you received: 263	I made my first practice set yesterday and they went pretty fast. This is the way I did it: layer fabrics right sides together with light fabric on top to cut, press, pin paper to light fabric, stitch, press to set seams on fabric side (dark fabric), cut into triangles.
