In Alex's isosceles triangle part, why couldn't the square (tree) part be left as a whole square, marked with the lines for sewing the triangles to, sewn and then trimmed down like you would with geese? It is after all just a long geese block really. It would eliminate a bias edge.

I will have to play with that- I think it is then a lining up issue - but here is what I have thought of since - at my retreat next month we are playing with this shape - PAPER PIECING!

Do you guys want Lilo to try and line up a chat with Joanie?

I agree with some of your concerns, the camera does move way too fast. This should have been an entire show. I remember she said she does use the the blue washout marker, if the fabric can get wet, otherwise she uses the paper.

You might just email her some of your questions, I was wondering how she gets such straight lines, mine always seem to wobble.

OK, after this one I'm full of questions I hope some can be answered.

We were treated to some fabulous quilts. Why was the camera panning and zooming all over the place? We seemed to miss one being talked about and then we finally had some proper views on To Have and To Hold. (Beautifully done too!).

I was amazed at the lack of basting. Would there be lots more on a full size quilt? And does she always use pins?

Did she pre wash the batting as it is wool or afterwards to add to the heirloom look.

And what does she use to mark the pattern on the quilt with? It looked like wash away pen?

Perhaps they are simple questions for some of you to answer, maybe I missed something in the show, I know it's probably all in the book which I will order next month, I just feel a little frustrated by this show!!
