I have never seen the patterns where you quilt each block and then sew them together. Lenny

You can use any block, just quilt individually and then join as previously stated (see my post above for website address). Here's two of my quilts done that way.

Thanks for the info. I am printing all the info off right noe so that I can study it, It takes me awhile sor all this to sink in as I haven't quilted very much nor very long.Lenny

Good Luck, Lenny. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Your Funny! :lol:

I have a question: what do you do with the triangles left from cutting a flying geese block? Can you use them on the next triangle?????? Lenny

Lenny,
Save the triangles, you can use them in a scrappy quilt down the road. Have you heard of Bonnie K. Hunter http://www.quiltville.com/ ? She has a brand new book out "Adventures with Leaders & Enders" and those extra triangles are used to make striking scrappy quilts. Take a look, you may find something you like - there are lots of free patterns listed on her sidebar ;)

When I was putting together some blocks, yesterday, I marked the blocks on the 'original' line to be sewn (1/2-square triangles) then marked a line 1/2" from the 'original' line; sewed on both lines, then cut the "extra triangle" off for my orphan bin (as I call it).

Here's a picture - these are bonus blocks from just this one block :lol:

I had never thought of doing this. What a great idea. Just mark both lines and cut between. Thank you for the suggestion. Gwyn

ps. I love scrappy quilts!

Gwyn,

Wish I could take credit. I'm just glad I remember to do it :lol:

It's so much easier than cutting the triangles off and then sewing back together and they match up better too (at least mine do)... :roll:

Quicker...that's what I like ;)

Finished my baby log cabin quilt top using my stash. Even made the backing with stash too. Here's the top and will post again after I get it quilted.
