I'm going to take the plunge and try to branch out on what I want to learn in the way of quilting. This time I think it will be some of those wing blocks that Rhonda has shown tutorials for. With that in mind, I will go with a patriotic theme and hope to get a block done by July 4th.
Wish me luck. Any pointers or comments are always welcome. Here is my first attempt. I am using up scraps on this. |
So, which block was that, and what will be your final colors?

http://www.bitsnpiecesworkshop.com/p...QuiltAlong.php I am thinking of doing smaller squares of that blue combination and then perhaps a red/white small squares. |
Are you doing them with templates? Or do you do a freezer paper technique?

So then I labelled them a little different hoping that would help. The directions said to pin the paper onto the fabric but since I use freezer paper for applique I thought I'd try that. I still can't match up my seams totally correct yet. They are a little off. |
I recently tried a cow with freezer paper- it made short work of the cow!

Here's my cow:
The instructions for it were from this website: (scroll down to see the cow- it has a PDF for the pattern) http://piecemealquilts.wordpress.com/ |

Back to the freezer paper- Did you stitch through your freezer paper? The technique I saw/used (actually from the tutorial she has from that same link) shows how to use it as a pattern, but you bend it back along the sew line and sew beside the folded part. That's how I did the cow, and the freezer paper template ends up being reusable. Maybe I will try that same block, using the freezer paper the same way I used it for the Cow. Thanks for the inspiration, Bonni! |
