"Had a few more minutes to ohh and ahhh the mini's on AAQI and Audrey Arno's "Losing It" brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for what you do! Not a mini but I too made a AAQI quilt called Roses of Remembrance by Sharon…"
"I also went on the AAQI website to see the beautiful mini's and to get inspriration. One thing I noticed was some of quilts had "Fast Finish Triangles" and curiousity got the best of me which I'm glad because it's…"
"phew......Glad you got it, I have a hard time typing what my mind is thinking."
Jackie Berdych replied to Susan Mankus's discussion about Carol Doak patterns in the group Miniature quilts"Another person explained it as well. It makes perfect sense to me know and I love the idea of not having to pull out paper. "
"Jackie,
Carol Doak offers a paper which is simular to freezer paper and you run it through your printer and download free patterns onto this paper. I use may machine unthreaded to perforate seam lines which will make each line easy to…"
Jackie Berdych replied to Susan Mankus's discussion about Carol Doak patterns in the group Miniature quilts"I am not picturing this technique in my head.

Kris Pierce replied to Susan Mankus's discussion about Carol Doak patterns in the group Miniature quilts"Thanks Susan, I've used freezer paper for larger projects, like the Bella Bella medallions and I love not having to pick paper out. And another great point for me, is that it forces me to press, something I'm very lax about. i promise…"
Gladie Church replied to Susan Mankus's discussion about Carol Doak patterns in the group Miniature quilts"I may have to look into this method. Thanks for the suggestion."
about Carol Doak patterns
I teach at a local quiltshop and use her free patterns for my beginners classes. The freezer paper is the best techique as you sew a scant next to the line and NOT on the line so you don't have paper to remove and distort your fabric. Plus the freezer paper is reuseable and you get the exact block everytime.See More
