Cotton Theory
 

Someone , not sure who was anxiously awaiting to try Cotton Theory. I took a class at my local quilt shop. I loved it, but it takes a lot of planning. Not for a beginner. :)It is quite ingenious. We made place mats and they are reversible!

Pics please, lol

I've heard/seen it mentioned ... what's the basis of this technique?

Thanks Erstan ... I'd googled before, but didn't find that link!
Somewhat a QAYG technique!

very much the same a baysides fun and done process. I have done 2 of these and they are so much fun to do.

Thanks UpNorth!! and for the link too!
I've seen that one, but have been hesitant ... wondering how finicky it is to trim without slicing hte fabric? And how awkward it would be to be sure that all lined up straight and square?

Would love to hear your thoughts UpNorth ... and from others too!

I will look and see if My old threads are still
up on here I found some cool shortcuts. I will be back in a few!!

Darn they seem to be gone, Let me try to remember. I made a frame the size I wanted my top block to be and one 1 inch larger for the backing I made the backing one and cut out the middle. used that for the batting and front part, you can use any block type but I strip pieced mine. I used a zipper foot to sew close to the batting when sewing them together. I will try to find a pic to post.[ATTACH=CONFIG]309250[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]309252[/ATTACH]
