I *want* to do this soon though!

Once again, thank you, Jan. Good luck and speedy recovery from your surgery. Do your therapy religiously, and you'll be back to quilting in no time at all! The therapy is like magic. My prayers are coming your way.

I agree with everyone else Jan I pray for a speedy recovery and you should look into publishing a book. Your advice is always straight on!

Jan, your information is always on point. Sure hope your shoulder problems are fixed with the surgery. Be sure to follow orders on pt afterwards. Its painful, and takes time, best of luck to you, and you are in my prayers

Bonnie Hunter also has an easy method using the Companion Angle Ruler. I believe she may have a video demonstrating her method on You Tube.

Just even up to the next " and then take the two squares and put them together; sew around the outside of the square 1/4" from edge and then cut diagonally and you have quarter square triangles. You can see this on M* through You Tube. Great tutorial. I didn't know your shoulder was hurting. Sorry, my friend. Piece and blessings, Vicki
