Smile Pointy Points and Back Basting tutorials on the old Dear Jane thread

Applique Points

I haven't been on in years but my applique pointy points from the Dear Jane quilt along can still be found on quiltingboard at the above address. There are clear photos available by download (PDF) and a not so clear version of back basting the way I learned it a long time ago. I've been told it's "backwards" by some purists but it works for me. If I can be of assistance, I'll try not to be such a stranger.
