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 -
