Bookmarked!!! Thank you. I have wanted to do some but was afraid of the bias.

wildyard 07-29-2011 10:04 AM

wow, hope someone figures out how to make 24 at once next. LOL.. I saved your tutorial as a pdf file, thanks so much!!

You can do them like the "tube" sewn ones too. Here's a link on how to do that.... you can do it with 2 colors or as many as you want and it will work the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3k85E3lzfU
Here's one from Missouri Quit Company. I love to watch their tutorials!! They tell you in plain simple language that is easy to understand!

I've been looking for this calculation for months! I knew the basic steps but never could settle on the correct formula to fit any quilt. Thanks so much for sharing.

kathymarie 07-29-2011 01:40 PM

What a neat way to do these...I usually just do the "making two at a time" method...but I'll definitely try this. Thanks!

Lyndy 07-29-2011 02:15 PM

Thank you so much! I have been doing the four at a time but have a heck of a time trying to keep them from stretching! I look forward to trying this method.

Drew 07-29-2011 02:24 PM

Thanks for the tute!

snipforfun 07-29-2011 02:28 PM

This is exactly the method I use. Comes out perfect everytime. No dealing with fancy papers, bias edges, etc.

meemersmom 07-29-2011 03:06 PM

Thanks for sharing. I just looked at this for the second time. Read it once...went a couple of topics down and saw where the poster forgot to bookmark something she was sure she'd be able to find easily later on...came back and bookmarked this puppy!! Always looking for a quick easy was to do these.

molly2 07-29-2011 03:13 PM

Thank You!!

quiltaroni 07-29-2011 03:56 PM

Thank you for this great method.

Gail B 07-29-2011 05:56 PM

Thanks for sharing this. Another "must try" idea.

seasaw2mch 07-29-2011 05:57 PM

Thanks so much for posting this. I am always looking for ways to cut down on time spent doing these and without the bias edge is out standing.

You may not like them, but you'll get them done in a 1/4 of the time, so you'll (hopefully) dislike them less :D
