Thread: Remember when so many people wanted to know about the quilt behind Jenny Doan?

Would you mind Sharing the name of the company in Australia that you purchased your templates from

Eleanor Burns has a similar pattern in her Egg Money Quilts pattern book. If you look at this page, scroll down near the bottom, you will see the block I'm talking about. It uses a quarter square triangle in the center.

I'm working on this one, I got the pattern off the web. It is a good way to use up scraps. I work on it off and on, so it's going to take me a while to finish it, if I ever do.

well, I just called MSQ and asked about the snub-nosed points.....and she said yes, they will be, so I then asked if those white side recs were cut wider and attached would that eliminate it, and she said she believed it might....so I ordered kit and will make a mental note (ha, ha) about the size change, try one and see if my thinking is right.....what do you think, that should fix the point, no???????

I have seen this same pattern in a recent magazine showing either assembled with templates or paper piecing.....can't remember what mag though.........but I think having the template from msq will be better than a home made one......

Thanks for the link. It is a very pretty quilt and a nice story about the one she bought, too.

I agree - very pretty. Sad story though. No one to leave her quilts to.

BellaBoo - I'm glad you pointed that out to me. I get very confused with flipping the paper piecing and at my age getting confused is not a good thing! Wonder if using thin muslin would work well.

I think Jenny does a very good job on her tutorials. She makes me smile when I watch them. I do like how they design their templates to work with charm packs and layer cakes.

Remember the template is made to use with a charm pack. All designed to make cutting and sewing less frustration for busy people, not to make quilters point out you can buy cheaper or make do just as good. The Lapel glue stick is much better then Elmer's glue stick for use in quilting. I wouldn't have thought so until I used it. I ordered another package of the papers. They are cheap and work great. The lay out lines are on the papers and they tear from the seams in one piece. I have made the string blocks and the Spider web blocks using these papers. I can just pick one up and sew. The kit is worth it if you like these type of blocks. It's cheap too, $20. http://missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/6121

I did not catch that she was using a lapel glue stick. I like how you don't need to flip the paper like with regular paper piecing.
