New Year, New Project! I'm making Aurora by Laundry Basket Quilts, and I need about a bajillion 4" sawtooth stars (well, okay, I need 127). I have 75 made.
Edyta Sitar demonstrates how to make this quilt in a YouTube video.
But I used a new-to-me method to make the flying geese units. This method starts with two squares so is very handy if you are using charm squares, it is a little odd, but the units get trimmed to the correct size and this helps a lot with accuracy so I gave it a try. It has worked well for me; the directions are here.
So I'm in business, just 52 more stars to make!
Good to see you back and looks like you are back to making a fun project....with lots of stars Cathy. A very interesting ruler and sounds like it will come in handy even after you do the bajillion stars! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThose are 4" of cuteness! Thanks for the info on the Flying Geese rulers.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you! I usually have great luck with Creative Grids and am slowly replacing some of my rulers with theirs as the need arises. Good luck with the rest of the bajillion stars. (We all know exactly how that feels.)
ReplyDeleteNice to hear what you've been up to. It's amazing how many different ways there are to make flying geese and everyone has their favorite way. Looks like this ruler and method is a good one.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I can't wait to see your quilt -- I love the blues and stars. I'm with you on the job -- mine needs to go too!
