Bought the book with the Orio 's Star pattern; haven't made
it and don't know that I will.
I have used Thangles. Made a bear's paw and it had
blocks framed with 1" half Triangle squares. I used the
Thangles for these, because those little tiny pieces were
easier for me to handle that way. They can be a little
expensive if you plan to use a lot..but in that instance it
was worth it, as I had hundreds and hundreds of them..king
sized quilt!
