Thanks for the URL, Patrice. I'll check it out.
I learned to quilt from an absolutely marvelous 75 year old woman who learned to do it as a child. We sewed our first five projects by hand - every patch and block. She was a real stickler for exactness, so it kind of rubs off. She also taught us to quilt by hand. I'm not very good at it, but I keep trying. I posted a project that was done last year on my introduction. I'm very proud of the final product.
Last year, our teacher decided that we were making her too tired to continue, so we have been on our own - teaching each other. It's fun but challenging.

I'm really trying to watch portion sizes, and I eat lots of Boca Burgers and veggie dogs! I love soy, though.
I changed my turtle to a bunny yesterday. He's facing the opposite way. I might have to change to something else if he starts hopping the wrong way! LOL!
Thanks!!

hello everyone, well i read the instructions i don't know how many times and i still couldn't figure it out. So did it a bit different and came up with this. It didn't come up being 12x12, mine is 11x11. But when i have more time i'm going to redo it and hopefully come up with the proper measurements. I sure like all the colors everyone else has come up with, nice work everyone, happy quilting, Denise.
my points didn't turn out great either, so i'm definitely going to do it over, i'm picky when it comes to being straight and points being right. heehee.

try this set of templates for HST. they print on legal paper (8.5 x 14)
for a 12" block (12.5" unfinished), use page 2 and make the 3" HST.
lay your two fabrics right sides together with the templates on top. sew on blue, cut on red. press to the dark.
