As I posted in another forum, I am attempting my first quilt, and not only that...but by hand.
One of my english pals here is doing a quilt, so I decided to give it a go.
Here is the process we are following:
we have a template cut out from heavy cardboard, then we cut out the templates from newspaper, then sew the fabric onto the newspaper (basting), then we sew these pieces together, with the newspaper still in them, then when all sides of the piece is connected on all sides, we take the newspaper out....
I thought it was funny, but since i hadnt done this before, im going along with it, but cant imagine us doing this in the states.....
I am making my pieces farily large, cause I cant see myself cutting out these itty bitty pieces like she is and putting them together, we are both doing hexagonal piecies, hers are maybe the size of a tangerine and mine are the size of..let's see, a cantaloupe....and then we have one in the middle, and then 6 pieces ...egads, I'm just going to post a picture, I cant describe this
