It looks like a great quilt to make at my next quilt retreat.Nancy Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548060200742172078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-62640323238706838792011-09-07T23:06:27.811-05:002011-09-07T23:06:27.811-05:00I love your new quilt project Thelma .

What a nice view you have out the window while you are sewing. Looking forward to following your progress.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296551063941603685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-77845756623518168142011-09-07T15:41:03.473-05:002011-09-07T15:41:03.473-05:00It's going to be wonderful!

Just relax and go with it! And add EZ angle into the mix, even better! <br />I also like your 12 quilt per year challenge. You go girl!Sinta Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946842748034667873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-80221717915605983842011-09-07T10:44:17.425-05:002011-09-07T10:44:17.425-05:00I found the same thing - when I cut my triangles o...I found the same thing - when I cut my triangles out, they seem to be more accurate than sewing next to the line and then cutting. I still haven't figured out why! <br /><br />Equipment question - where did you get the wonderful table your sewing machine sits in? Is it made by Bernina? It looks perfect with the extra room for cutting or fabric to sit while you stitch it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685952017183050898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-4231175806251427032011-09-07T08:33:26.132-05:002011-09-07T08:33:26.132-05:00I love EZ angle too.

I'm working on a project with lots of angled rectangles, HST's and QST's. I have the wonderful rulers for HST and QST's, but these new little 'tools' have saved me more time than anything in my 'toolbox', along with ensuring accuracy all of my blocks with angles of any kind. Here is the website...check it out and watch the short little demonstration video, if you haven't already!!!<br />www.marinandcolusa.com ...
