I love this crane. My son loves to fold the paper ones. I'll have to figure this one out so I can make him a special quilt. Thank you for sharing.

It is a faboo technique. Judy Mathieson (sp) who specializes in Mariner's compass quilts gives very good directions for doing it in her book.

The teacher said the freezer paper ypu buy in the grocery store will eventualy gum up your printer. The ones from the qyuilt store won`t.
Teacher saw a quilt made with 80 birds. She got to 30 and sais enough on to other things and it is now a wall hanging which I din`t see as shr din`t feel like taking it down. Maybe will show it at a guild meeting or our show in the spring. Need to remember camera for our guild meet. Gale |
If gumming up the printer is an issue, you could iron a 1/4" section on the top of the freezer paper to a piece of copy paper and run them through your printer together :wink:
