After I did the chores I got the featherweight out and started stitching hst's for the Star Surround QAL. I love chain piecing!
Every once in a while we quilters discuss our favorite specialty rulers. This one is mine - the Quilt in a Day 6.5" Triangle Square Up Ruler. Using the ruler, the hst's are squared up after sewing, before pressing, and you trim two sides at the same time - two cuts, not four.
Joann's has them, too. I use it all the time! Check out other QAL progress at Happy Quilting.
cool ruler. I will have to remember that. Good job getting your HST's done :)
ReplyDeleteI'm working on mine today too. That's a different way of doing them. Do they still stay nice and square after pressing? I'm thinking now would be a good time to have one of those rotating cutting boards with all these HSTs to trim!
