    That is the tip I needed this time last year when I made a quilt for granddaughter to take to Uni, if you are interested go back to Jan this year.

    Thanks I will give this a go for another project I have in mind.

    What a lovely wall hanging. This is a great technique. I used it to make a tiny checkerboard pattern.

    Soooo I just came across this tip and it was in 2011. I am retired, learning new things and loved how this was put together!. Since I am a new learner it took me awhile to figure it out in my head. I am a visual learner so I am so glad for your pics. Can you tell me if you ever shared your secret project with this web site?

    Well yes, I published my 'secret' project is in this post: http://bloomandblossom.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/coquetterie.html. And here: http://bloomandblossom.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/coquetterie-cosmetic-wallet-pdf-pattern.html. It remains one of my all-time favourite projects!

    I wish I would have seen this tip before Friday. :( I have been sewing strips of 21/2 in squares together and it seems to be upsetting my brand new machine. It has auto tension and going over all those seems is making it mess up.

    could you inlarge your stripes to a 2 1/2 or even 3 in

    Loved it, tried it with strips I'd sewn a year ago. Made the fabrics come alive, so I owe you, big time! Thanks for sharing.
