Chevron with strips not triangles
Look very easy. http://thelittlefabricshop.blogspot....-tutorial.html

tess, I was determined to make one, so many different ways to make these. So I thought I'd try the one with strips. It went fine and I was happy with it. Then decided to all boarder it, it wasn't working out, all wavy. I threw it in my UFO stuff. I'll deal with it later. Good Luck with this, no one else seems to have this problem.

looks like a great method.
|
Look real easy. I'll have to put on my to do list.
|
Wow, that looks fun!
|
Thanks for sharing!
|
With everything in place you could also QAYG with this.
|
Made one this way. Was a lot of fun to do? However I didn't have a tute and had to figure it out on my won.
|
I made this one using that tutorial. I was very careful with all of those biased edges. I love how it came out & so did the momma!

Here is the one I have been working on, just finished basting it, now to quilt, and bind it. No pattern but it all seemed to work out for me.[ATTACH=CONFIG]414986[/ATTACH]

I've been wanting to make a chevron quilt. Thanks so much for posting this!
(Pjaco, I love your avatar quilt!) |
Making the blocks is easy with the rectangles, but once you have it together, you have to square it up which leaves you with the entire outside as bias edges. I have made one each way, with rectangles and with 1/2 square triangles and liked the triangle method better. It was difficult to sandwich & quilt because of the whole outside being bias edges. Use plenty of starch, although I did and still had issues. It came out alright, but it was more of a hassle than the triangle one.

Thanks for the tute!

I like the method and would love to try it but I have two little dogs who love to sleep on anything I put on the floor, especially a quilt I am working on. Will save the method.
|
Wow this is a neat way to do it. I think this may require some spray starch. Thanks for sharing.
|
Thanks for the tutorial. I have got to quit adding things to must make list. I don't think I can live long enough to complete them all. I can dream though.
