I'm working on binding for two quilts...almost finished tacking that down.
I made this little paper-pieced block for a friend's 41st birthday and embellished it with some hand-drawn doodles and awesome backing fabric which my co-workers really enjoyed!! If you ask me where the pattern came from, I'll lie and say Carol Doak 'cause I just can't remember.
The next two pictures are possibilities for all those stinkin' Thangles I finally finished--have I mentioned the package makes 450 half-square triangles. (Note: That last little bit was uttered in a high-pitched shriek bordering on hysteria. No I haven't had my Xanax...in days...and days...and days.)
I'm thinking two borders for each: one skinny and one with a little more heft. Ugh, that sounds like me and my daughter standing side by side! Anyway, you get the picture. And can you believe it, I have enough of those
I'll have to try those Thangles some day.

Etty,
ReplyDeleteI've decided it's far simpler to just draw a couple of lines on the wrong side of the fabric, stitch my lines and cut them apart. I thought I'd like Thangles because I LOVE paper-piecing, but I think they're alot more work than they're worth. Maybe after the next eleven packages, I'll change my mind...or just pull out the rest of my hair LOL!
Happy quilting,
Stephanie
