"Do not 'correct' the name that the quilt owner gives; part of the project is to unearth the history of naming." I think it went on to say that the name of the quilt is the name the maker/owner gives it. So now I just look at the five or more names a block has assembled to itself and wish I knew, Why?, for each one.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981369630696737026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699795669762950563.post-7673023402371857822016-05-24T14:35:56.599-04:002016-05-24T14:35:56.599-04:00Those black and white strawberries look delicious!...Those black and white strawberries look delicious!Karen @runsewfunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975401086034999869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699795669762950563.post-14926755566211509942015-12-02T22:12:49.783-05:002015-12-02T22:12:49.783-05:00Great color combination.

But, I have bought dies for my sizzix big shot to cut out hexies (1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2", though there are more) and I cut fabric with the 1 1/2" thinking to use it on the 1 1/4" papers, but it did not work. There was not enough fabric for seam allowances. Then I ordered the 1 1/8" size papers from PaperPieces.com because I did not want to go down all the way to the 1" hexy. I did not pull this weird size out of the air. It was forced upon me!<br /><br />So I pretty much soured on cutting my own papers with the dies. I do like them to cut fabric though.<br /><br />As for odd shapes, I make templates in Illustrator, print them out on cardstock, and cut them out with scissors. Which at least saves drawing them over and over. Though I suppose I'll have to do that on the fabric! hmmm.Amy Given Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517866314561815169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699795669762950563.post-9172780110621630162015-05-03T09:45:11.629-04:002015-05-03T09:45:11.629-04:00This is interesting to see!

I ordered a hexagon punch from amazon, but I might see how expensive the papers are that you link to. I had thought punching my own hexies would be cheaper, but I want to play with other shapes, too - papers seem like the way to go now.DaisyLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548411036072883780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699795669762950563.post-77657931932047351542015-04-12T19:30:21.837-04:002015-04-12T19:30:21.837-04:00An interesting process.
