What I did different from that tutorial is that I added an additional 1 inch to the 6 inches wide, making it 7 inches total. When you open after the pressing in half length wise, and are ready to cut, do not cut as deep. Cut a 1/2 inch less, meaning not so close to the center fold. You are actually cutting in 3 inches When you are done, you will have more of a seam allowance there to grasp onto when sewing it to your quilt.
I have also done half strips of one fabric and half strips of another and given a double looking border. Just my 2 cents worth here, hoping I didn't mess anyone up now! Judi |
Many thanks!

Chay, thanks so much for posting this tutorial!
We learned to do this in Quilt Guild a few years ago and it works. I've wanted to do a tutorial myself to share it, but haven't had the time, patience, or photographic equipment. (I like the suggestion to add extra width to make sewing them to the quilt easier. It's pretty close quarters without it.) As one who has done a baby quilt with individual points made by hand, this is a God-send! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
