You just have to take your time, measure and sew carefully. The directions in Quilters Visual Guide are very good. There is probably a demo film on YouTube as well.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585773626369107567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-63756214837762176592010-04-09T08:54:38.741-05:002010-04-09T08:54:38.741-05:00Looks like a great pattern!Looks like a great pattern!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264008817537561201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-64961255177685033272010-04-09T08:53:29.179-05:002010-04-09T08:53:29.179-05:00A good plan, indeed.A good plan, indeed.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889819189264646562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-9956826485883010062010-04-09T08:32:51.558-05:002010-04-09T08:32:51.558-05:00I was thinking of the poppy quilt...could you make...I was thinking of the poppy quilt...could you make something of it for the veterans hospital near you? That would be a great fabric for that or a quilt of valour.<br /><br /> I love the accuracy of Marti Mitchel templates but I did find it tedious, and perhaps slightly dangerous to a klutz like me. Though I didn't get the encyclopedias. Those must be fun to flip through.<br /> I can't really help you on the mitered corners, though if you learned something like attic window it does use them. You could practice without using huge things of fabric. I learned how in a class but it was so long ago...I wonder if the perfect binding tool would work for borders too...here's a link to it being demo'd by one of the quilt shops http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2PajesRvU&feature=player_embeddedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823051999062711901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-73709244754759344612010-04-09T07:50:24.669-05:002010-04-09T07:50:24.669-05:00OMG I am crazy in love with Wild Goose Chase...I m...OMG I am crazy in love with Wild Goose Chase...I may just have to order that pattern...LOVE IT!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740642815128986086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-23901077986187390702010-04-09T07:39:13.856-05:002010-04-09T07:39:13.856-05:00Might have to get some more of those marti mitchel...Might have to get some more of those marti mitchell templates!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947050490192912888noreply@blogger.com
