    I love them both- but especially the postage stamp. I love those!! I started one 6 or 7 years ago and made about a 4' by 4' center. I got REALLY tired of those tiny squares and gave it to my mom, telling her I didn't care what she did with it, but I never wanted to see it again! LOL! Well, being a MOM, she added some borders, tied it off, and gave it back finished! :0)

    Thank you, sewmom!!! So starch is the secret, heh? Wish I had known that then. Haven't touched an "on-point" quilt since :D . I actually did that quilt before I had any decent rulers also -haha- but the HQing seemed to gobble up all that extra fabric! :oops: :D :D :D

    Thank you, Lisa T!! What a wonderful thing your mom did for you!! It's a reminder of her love! Now you'll just have to conquer that task again only do like me and use larger squares! That's the trick to it. I just kept sewing and sewing and never realized I had enough for two laps! It's only 4 nine patches so if you look at it like that, it may go faster. Hope you'll try again; they always make great scrap quilts no matter what colors you put in them! Thanx! N2.

    Very nice. Just tell folks that the wind is blowing on Windy City, hence the ripples. Like ripples in the water, or laundry on a line.

    I agree with another poster, use starch on those pesky bias triangles and handle with care. Looks pretty good, though!
