    Thank-you QuiltE for showing pictures and giving instructions for the inside flange. It's a great idea which I need to try sometime.

    You're welcome Shelbie!
    I really like it as it can give such a nice touch and pop ... and it really is simple!

    It can also be very effective as a "racing stripe" in the midst of two layers of the same fabric'

    Can you show a picture of this? Sounds interesting.

    I use these to make strippy blocks from regular shapes. Here's one, for instance. In this case you'd use more than 4 strips per side of the heart. You can adjust the size of the block to whatever you want, of course.

    Those would make a nice narrow piano key border for a quilt, too. String quilt blocks, log cabin blocks, too.

    Log cabin ... the curved pattern that Jan showed is the best since you can use the 1 inch strips on the narrow sides.

    Another way to use the strips is Seminole patchwork. Here is a good link: http://www.ludlowquiltandsew.co.uk/S...Patchwork.html
