So - I'm getting ready to introduce the theme for this year's Block of the Month Quilt. Woo hoo!
I'm not to going to tell you the theme until Friday, but here's a hint. . . I've gotten a lot of emails asking for a help piecing triangles. Your wish is my command!
This video isn't a how to - that'll come tomorrow. This one walks you through the two kinds of triangles we're going to learn - half-square triangles and quarter-square triangles. These are the most common triangles you'll find in quilting - you could make gorgeous quilts for the rest of your life, never repeating a pattern and never moving beyond these two basic blocks. Learning them is like learning back stitch, split stitch, lazy daisy and French knot - you can embroider any design knowing these four stitches.
In addition to teaching you the difference between the two basic triangle units, I also show you a couple of tools it'll be handy to have when you start piecing triangles. They're inexpensive and easy to find and they will make your life sooooooo much easier. Get them.
Come back tomorrow for the first how-to lesson!
Happy quilting. :-)
Best,
Wendi
