Calico Dreams Forever: Boston Blocks

http://calicodreamsforever.blogspot.com/p/boston-blocks.html

I have developed several shortcuts using my cut down method. Basically the cut down method means you sew fabric together and then cut out with a template from the center of the joined fabrics. This allows you to do more intricate designs without handling small pieces. It also eliminates some math. My intention is to make it easier and faster to piece beautiful patchwork quilt blocks into projects or quilts. Cut out one strip of light fabric - 2 1/2" x 16". Once you have your strips cut then. Make sure yo...

So this year we are going to be going back for more fun and good friends! I love being able to meet people I have been online friends with for several years.

http://calicodreamsforever.blogspot.com/2011_09_16_archive.html

Friday, September 16, 2011. Today has been a hectic day! I am used to a quiet household and/or when the kids are here they are able to take care of themselves. When I have had baby Colton before he was containable. Now he is crawling and walking around things and refuses to be contained for long! LOL It was a constant making sure he hadn't found something to put in his mouth that he wasn't supposed to have! But he is a love! And I hate to give shots! Anyway here are some pics we took last night and today.

Calico Dreams Forever: HSTs

http://calicodreamsforever.blogspot.com/p/hsts.html

Really Easy Half Square Triangle Blocks. Do you have trouble making HSTs? I think my method is really easy. No dog ears no cutting out squares and sewing down the middle on each side of a line. A mini cutting mat or a turntable cutting mat would be good. You can cut without a mini but it would make it easier to do. But you won't have to buy any thing to make your HSTs. No paper piecing or Thangles or any other expense. Http:/ www.quiltingboard.com/t-36008-1.htm. Turn your mat and cut along the next side.
