    Couldn't you go to the stained glass section of a craft store and use their patterns for the basis of your quilts? You'd just have to adjust your pieces to your type of piecing.

    Just attended a Stain Glass class couple of weeks ago.
    I made one with Black Olfa Bias- and the other with Gold Bias.
    I found the most affordable way to purchase was from connecting Thread. I am now working on Dragon fly.

    This is the website where I bought the patterns I have used. Very clear and easy to follow directions. I have attached picture of my first attempt.

    I use iron-on single fold black bias tape from the lqs, but you can buy it on=line, just check several sites to get the best price. It works great. I do sew it down after ironing it on, just because I really don't want it coming off later. Sara

    First Question is: which type of stained glass are you thinking about. This is a type that I do.

    I should have added that I don't use any bias tape. The background is what makes the lines. Each piece is cut then a spacing is allowed between pieces for the black to show. I have done an elephant, dog, dragon, dragonfly and the tiger.
