Thanks for the picture I have never seen that pattern and method before.

sounds like you need Pearle Cotton thread- I have it in many color in size 8 & 12 (I have some 3 & 5 but those are pretty thick) many companies carry it- our local joannes carries some colors. just search embroidery threads. Evening Star Designs, Primitive Gatherings and Sue Spargo all carry it too.

Can you post a picture? It kind of sounds like the one where you sew two squares together leaving a small opening for turning right side out where the corners meet in the center? A square of batt is inserted into the hole and then the opening is stitched shut. The squares are then hand stitched together and it makes a reversible quilt that appears to be triangles?

Oh wow! I have never seen anything like that before. I have made puffy quilts and wonder if it's the same idea? How are the triangles sewn together? I assume they are whip stitched together. I like it!

It is a very portable project - which is really nice. There are long strings attached to the finished triangles which I assume is for attaching them. I was hoping someone would have an idea as to how they are attached. I figure there was a trick. They are whip stitched together thru the blanket stitches - it looks like she did it twice thru every stitch but I can see the pattern or how she did it with those long threads?

You can use perle cotton size 12. DMC has it in 40 colors, and Joann's has a sale on it right now for 30% off--now $1.95 for a ball of 131 yards (sale is good for only a couple more days--and you might have to order it online). Carolyn

I made one of those many years ago...I stuffed them with old panty hose!! In those days, hose ran every time you turned around so I had a good supply. I whipped stitched the triangles together with double thread. I don't have it anymore....I wonder if it is still "out there" somewhere...:eek:
|
Is it possible they are actually crocheted together??
|
Interesting method. Good luck.
