:?: What ya going to do to them toes? I don't get the bff,sorry. :mrgreen:
It was plain to me the difference between the two ways of doing it in the picture. My question is though is the second as easy as the first as far as piecing it goes? :lol:

I like this block, I don't see it as a stand alone block in a sampler quilt. but that's just me.
If I had a qult program like EQ6 or Quilt Pro could I put this block in and figure yardage. My old brain just doesn't want to compute anymore. I know it's 20 blocks but one could not just multiply 20 times fabric requirments. If a program would make this easier, I'm so happy. whiney marie

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should have known this would be another block to test my patience....lol :-) This looks like a beautiful block until I get ahold of it. I see the difference in the pics but don't know if it would make a difference for me. I have seen some where they show the shortcut and that makes it more complicated for me. Guess I am backwards...lol.
Yes I was complaining to Patrice :D .....Can't wait till the next BOM......lol

Good choice Denise, because I need a lot of practice on half square triangles. It looks like a lot of fun :lol:

I thought i'd write down some notes on how i had cut the pieces for this bom. Maybe it will help others in making it easier to follow.
1). print out the templates and measure that they are the right size, the center square should measure 2 5/8 sq. in. the longer template should measure 2 5/8 wide, and 5 3/8 from flat end to pointed end.
2). In color 5 where it says, 4"x16" strip, i just cut 2" strips and cut into 2" squares, to get the 16 needed.
3). Where it says to cut color 5, 2 3/8 x 9 1/2 strip into four 2 3/8 squares. I didn't cut those in half as it says. i thought it would be easier to just place the colored 2 3/8 squares right sides together to the color 5 2 3/8, draw a line in center of colored fabrics of 1, 2, 3, and 4. then sew on both sides of line 1/4 inch, then cut apart. Then you have your combos of each color ( on bottom of page 1) and they will measure 2".
4). with the templates (the long one with the pointy end) cut the strip then i put the template over it to draw the pointy end, then cut it. This seemed to help me with getting as close as i can. I also folded this strip or finger press it to get the center before i connected the 1/2 triangle to the flat side. As far as the rest of the instructions i just followed as it said. I hope this makes sense when you read this, and hope it helps with the cutting instructions. :P Happy sewing everyone.

I think I like the layout with little squares. Would they need to be 2" squares (1.5" finished) to do a 12" block (12.5")? I'm still a little fuzzy on figuring starting sizes to end up with the finished size for the quilt block. I'm having flashbacks to the quilt for my dil's mom, and each of those blocks only had 55 pieces. LOL. I just bought pink, lavender, yellow, and green for a baby girl quilt. I think this would make up nicely. Don't need it until middle of April, so I think it would be do-able.
Yikes! Just realized there were more posts on a second page. I think Denise answered my question. Thanks.
