You, friend, are wonderful for sharing this little shortcut. I may have been way past "newbie" by now, had I not given up and left all those pieces in a plastic bag (and subsequently gave away never to see the light of a quilting day again). THANK YOU for your insight. |
thanks so much for the tutorial and pics. Great way to use up some of my scraps. Going to give this a try.

Thank you, Rhonda! I am encouraged with your tutorial!
|
If you need any help just let me know! I'll be happy to help you.

Rhonda, you always do a great job. I'm getting ready to search for your EQ tutorials. I'm taking classes at my LQS now to design the blocks for the Dear Jane quilt in EQ7 and then convert them into embroidery designs in 5D Pro. I'm new to both things so I'm really excited. I've been looking all morning for the D. Jane book on line that I can afford. I've viewed some of your tutorials before and they are easy to follow. Thanks for sharing with all of us

Thanks to both of you! I am glad my tutes help.

Learn something new everyday. Thanks.

Hi Rhonda,
I am new to the board and to quilting. I have been looking at the tutorials and decided to try your Boston Star Quilt Block. Your instructions are very clear and easy for a new quilter. Will get some fabric tomorrow and start right away. Thank you for the tutorial |
You're very welcome Maria. If I can help in any way let me know.

Hello Rhonda ~ Oh where or where have I been and missed this wonderful tutorial? Can't wait to put my orphan bits and pieces on the feed dogs to try this technique! Is your e-book still available? Please free to PM to me if promotions are not allowed in the threads.

Soon after I joined Quilting Board I saw this tutorial and put Boston Star on my bucket list. I have yet to make one, but I'm still thinking I will. I thought I'd take a minute to write a comment in the hope of making it a little more likely that newbies will notice this and be inspired.
What brought it to mind was finding this block among the ones being offered on OESD for embroidery machines. Yay, now I don't even have to be able to sew straight. They call it "Split Quarter Square Triangle" and offer two sizes. They have other blocks as well, such as flying goose and hst. These are stitch and flip quilt blocks and can be done with scraps exactly as Rhonda shows, but in the hoop. Aside from having to deal with tearaway stabilizer, they provide an easy way to get perfect accuracy. I'm not suggesting that anyone should buy an embroidery machine just for this purpose, however. That's not an economical or even necessarily easy way to sew quilts, but if you already have one this is another good use for it. BTW, I'm not necessarily promoting OESD. Other embroidery sites, such as Ann the Gran offer similar blocks. Rhonda's tutorial is worthwhile for other types of blocks. The concept of sewing scraps together and then trimming the seams and cutting the square is a lot like foundation paper piecing, but without the paper. Thanks, Rhonda! |
Nice to see Rhonda's name again on the Board. I remember her posts and instructions from when I first joined in 2010.

I am wondering what happened to all the tutorials.
