Thangles are papers that you use to make the hst. You don't need them, but many people like to use them. I don't like removing the papers, so I do mine the old fashioned way. You can go to http://www.thangles.com/howtheywork.html and see how exactly how they work.

I'm getting confused between the the photo thread, and this discussion thread. I just posted a photo of how I made those cute little quarter square triangles for step one of the Orca mystery. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t168881-4.html (page 4)

The picture helps
Sara,
Your picture and instructions helps us visual learners immensely. Not to get back to it and try to copy it.
I could read all day long about HST's and QST's but not really "get it." Once I see the picture...I GET IT!
Thanks for doing this..

Thank you Coyotemagic for getting this thread started! Yesterday, three of us in Seward who are doing this mystery got together for the day to work on the first step. We tried the different methods of making our quarter square triangles, and, no matter the method, spray starch was a very helpful tool. Of course, good company and carry out Chinese didn't hurt! This is going to be fun!
