the rogue quilter left a comment for Mandy Currie"before you start. check out sites where you can program in the size of diamond or hexies whatever and print out a grid. then print onto freezer paper iron on to fabric, then cut out fabric and paper all at one time.

Mandy Currie commented on American Quilter's Society's group Scrappy Quilts"rogue quilter that all sounds like amazing fun. Yes we have boot sales here but it's mostly old tat and not fabric, sometimes lucky enough to get yarn though. I crochet as well and am making charity blankets for the elderly at the most. One of…"
Mandy Currie commented on Lemmah's group English Paper Piecing"The shop I'm thinking of sells online and the fq club is something you pay for monthly and they send you x amount of fat quarters or charm squares, you choose. It could be fun just to receive real post for a change instead of just bill…"
Mandy Currie commented on American Quilter's Society's group Scrappy Quilts"Viki that sounds like so much fun, I do so wish we could buy like that here in England but I'm afraid we have to do most of our shopping online. The nearest quilt shop to me is really miles away. It would be so much nicer if we could walk…"

Mandy Currie commented on Lemmah's group English Paper Piecing"Hello rogue quilter, thanks for the ideas, a table topper or cushion covers would be great ideas. Yes fat quarter sales, good too, I shall look online at my favourite English shops, I think they have a fq club you can join. What's quipping?"
Mandy Currie commented on Lemmah's group English Paper Piecing"Lemmah, I love your diamonds, I'm doing a hexagon quilt that has sadly been put to one side for several years. I think I used the wrong type of fabric, not pure cotton, and I lost heart in the project. It'll get done eventually, I'm…"

Mandy Currie commented on American Quilter's Society's group Knit & Crochet"I've just found this group, am busy crocheting granny squares for charity blankets for the elderly with my local group. But what I really love to do is crochet lace and would appreciate anyone who can help me with some patterns. They just…"
Mandy Currie commented on American Quilter's Society's group Hand Quilting"Hello Glenda, hang in there, I'm a beginner too and agree with Susan, it takes practice. I love the peace and calm of hand quilting and I nowhere near do it perfectly yet, but it's my piece of work and I'm loving. I chose a patterned…"

- great. we seem to be wandering the same paths here this afternoon. just left a note for you at epp. but i really would start fresh. i have a hexi project i picked up at a yardsale. i played w it for a while off and on, will probably never finish it. the originater of the project decided to make hexi gfg with double knit. wow..ok...lets see how this goes..should prob just toss it. oh well...but like i said..flexability of cotton or silk..ability to hold a crease...all that makes silk & cotton my preferred for epp. which i do not do a lot of..so it has to be easy! lollol

Chris Combs said… Thanks for the tips. Now I'll have to give it a try. I've always liked piecing by hand, now I can try a new technique. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
