Debby did a beautiful job! Points, intersections, flat and straight!
In 2004 I put together a class for the basic shapes used in piecing. I never thought it would be so difficult to find a quilt shop willing to let me teach it. It doesn't come from a book.
The first time out I taught at my friends studio/shop. The students all successfully completed a string and TATW quilts before this class. Two of the students completed TATW bed sized projects! They all FINISHED- as in bound and in use.
This class means business. It includes the how's and why's of piecing, starting with a good 1/4 inch seam. Moving to an accurate small 9-patch. Ending with 1/2 and 1/4 square triangles. After quilting for hire for 8 years I know the 1/4 square triangle is misunderstood. Different methods and tools for cutting and assembly are addressed. Yes, I am rather passionate about this quilt pattern!
Guilds include a wide variety of skill levels. I felt it would be a great forum. http://www.wvqg.com/home allowed me to teach it slowly over time. I think all but one student has a finished quilt. (can you tell I like to see them finished?)
SO this quilt pattern needs a name! Those who know me understand I am quilt naming challenged. I name my machines, but not my quilts. Maybe it comes from my need to do, once a quilt is done - well it's done.... off to the next one. Suggestions welcomed.
Back to, well this day, the trunk of my car.
