The recent postings by both Liliane and Lucy, which show their exemplary, museum quality quilts, reminded me of the box of triangles waiting in the wings.
And no one can deny that the long-term efforts of both Liliane and Lucy is nothing short of show stopping!
My method begins with dark and light 3.5 inch squares sewn on all 4 sides then cut on the diagonal. Of course, and by that I mean "they must" be starched or that pesky bias edge will show up when least convenient.
After trimming down to 2", each square is carefully chosen and placed in sequence on an acrylic ruler, carried to the sewing machine, and sewn in order.
Seams are pressed open, then row 1 is sewn to row 2, etc. Since I'm not one to press seams open, I'm re-reading Jo Morton's careful instructions on sewing small, very small.
We're so fortunate, aren't we, to have access to so many great and influential teachers.
Thank you Liliane, Lucy, and Jo for sharing your incredible talent.
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
