I find this method and starching the fabric first much easier. I use the liquid Niagra starch which doesn't flake and adds just enough body that those triangles won't stretch when sewn on the bias.

I shared it on my blog today, and of course, credited you and linked your blog.<br />Thanks so much for sharing - I LOVE it! And, I agree with Mary/Quilt Hollow - you should submit it to QuiltMaker!<br />Thanks again, and here's the linked posting:<br />http://mylifeisastitch.blogspot.com/2014/02/snow-day-again.htmlDebra @ Life is a Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853926453946247707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-9148078263576802652014-02-05T07:25:12.064-05:002014-02-05T07:25:12.064-05:00Great block, love the name as it sure fits this ye...Great block, love the name as it sure fits this year.

I did something similar a year or so back and used it as a pillow cover for my girlfriend in Canada. The other side was a wolf. My thinking brain is burning it's woodpile with this gorgeous example.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-73044535793291451852014-02-04T13:08:07.797-05:002014-02-04T13:08:07.797-05:00Nicely done, Nancy!
