These 2 sets were sewn completely different. The one on the left were triangle shapes cut of with my Accuquilt. The one on the right was done with a rectangle and 2 squares using Pam Bono's technique that was mentioned here in this post..
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-135731-1.htm I have to say I love Pam Bono's method. It went together smooth and laid completely flat. These were the first ones I have ever sewn together with her method and a few are a little wonky but with a bit more practice mine are going to be perfect. =) Its all about getting the feel..

They look great!
Nice job! |
I have wanted to try it, but wasn't sure they would be right. I will be trying it now. Thanks for the pictures.

I tried Pam's method this morning too, & really like doing a strip of them this way. Seems so much easier. Had to do a strip for quilt club on Sat. Instruction sheet showed us the four at one time method, so did that once, so I could tell the finished size needed. Then did the rest with Pam's method, & found it much more enjoyable, & liked the results. I don't have an her ruler, so I still marked mine. Not sure if I need that ruler, or not, any opinions? But it's still a neat way to do them.... Yours look great! Thanks for sharing!...

Would you show the backs of the strips, too, please?
|
They look great
|
I think they look terrific
|
I watched that video yesterday. Yours look good. I'll have to give it a try.
|
I have to add that while you can do it without the ruler there is so much you can do WITH the ruler that it more than pays for itself in a short time. Its amazing how handy it is.
|
Great job. They are both great.
|
How do you determine what size to cut the squares part of it? Is it determined by rectangle size? Is there a chart?
Sure am needy aren't I? LOL |
I read in one of my quilting reference books, you decide what size you want your finished block to be. For the long stripe you add a half inch to length & width, so 2in x 4in finished, would be a 4.5 & 2.5 cut. The blocks would then be 2.5 squares. This would give you a 2in by 4in flying geese block. I think I wrote this right, lol, feel free to correct if not..
I am still debating on that ruler, read some pros & cons about on one google link. If you have more good things to say about it, please do! |
I'm slow too. It took me a minute then the light went on. The square is the size of the short side....squared???? Is this what you said?

VERY NICE

Good job

I use Eleanor Burn's method/ruler which is very accurate. I'm going to look into this other method, too.

Your squares need to be half the size of whatever size rectangle you use.
