Not here though, as mine will be down before the 12th day. Great that you have a designer in the making!!! And too, perhaps once you start stitching and she sees it starting to come to life with the PPd blocks, she'll want to do some of the stitching too. That's the joy of PPing, two can sew and know the blocks/pieces will fit together. And you can get some pretty impressive results, which may help her to fall in love and want to do more sewing after her quilt is made. Maybe now, you need to turn your son loose, to create his very own design too? :) My son is not at all interested in the design. As a baby he was spending hours putting his little cars in row, and now he loves to sew rows and rows of blocks, without caring at all about the result for a single minute :-) |

Yes, it might give her the "illumination", seeing this coming together. This is the idea of getting her involve in the design in the first place.

(......and your further sneakyness!! :)) |
I paper pieced my SAS and am glad I did so. I wanted it all points and seams to be perfect and they were! I use blank newsprint paper which rips off easily. If I made another, I would PP again.

I love the Hunter's Star die and wondered if the Storm At Sea die is as good. |
Yes, I think you are correct!
OOOPS! Kirsten |
Here's is another vote for Deb Tucker tools. They might be a bit pricy up front, but they make several sizes of blocks, so you should be able to use them for multiple projects. And the results can't be beat.
Having said that, I made one SAS quilt with the Wendy Mathson trimplates and was very happy with the results. I bought her tools before I knew about DT. I liked the process and the results, but her tool only makes one size of block. My SAS is here: https://www.quiltingboard.com/person...s-t209159.html SAS is my favorite pattern and I'm looking forward to seeing pics of yours. |
take it from someone that used the Tri-recs rulers and rotary cutting to make one for my daughter--paper piece it!

I used Marti Michell's templates which would make several sizes of blocks, but I did find them a little confusing at first. The Deb Tucker method of cutting a bit larger than needed and then cutting the pieces down to exact size would be useful for SaS. And if you don't mind paper piecing a whole quilt (which I loathe!), that would be the way to go. Pay close attention to how you press the seams, though, because you will want them to nest as you put them together.
