While waiting -


For a delivery on Friday -

I didn't want to be in the other room messing with the binding -

In case I missed it -

So I pulled some fabric -


And my Hunter Star die -

And cut some BLUE ones -


And some YELLOW ones -


Then played with some layouts -

Using the larger triangles -




I liked that last one -

So I filled in the other bits -


I cut enough to make four BLUE ones -

And four YELLOW ones -

So after I make them -

Then I'll play some more -


One thing I noticed was that the ends of the diamond shapes are different -

One end is "angled" - and one end is "flat" -

The "instructions" didn't address the issue -

At least not that I could find -


So -

I laid them both out to see which one had the "dog-ears" where I wanted them -


Looks like the one on the RIGHT is the correct orientation -


So -

I'll be lining them up with the "flat" edge toward the middle of the trapezoid -

Which is probably mentioned somewhere -

I just didn't find it - LOL - ;))


And - since the delivery didn't come on Friday -

I'll be waiting AGAIN on Saturday -

So I might not be sewing binding until Sunday -

But that's OK -

I can play with the Hunter Star -

While waiting - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Binding -


Is sewn for my two Interweave quilts - ;))


I put the small orange scissors in the shot -

So you can see how big that roll is -

I estimated 440 inches for both quilts -

But it's more than that -

I'm not sure exactly how much more -

But as I was sewing it -

Flattening the long seam -

Folding and pressing it -

I could have sworn it was at least a mile long - LOL - ;))

And for those of you who are wondering -

The SMALL mask fit my friend perfectly -

And she was thrilled with it - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
