The way I make it, you don't need any foundation at all. <br /><br />The swap sounds like lots of fun. What a huge collection of scraps you would get that way. <br /><br />Selvage Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830455480591075005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-69916271842532364072014-07-08T00:40:38.857-04:002014-07-08T00:40:38.857-04:00Carol, I had never thought of getting a newsprint ...Carol, I had never thought of getting a newsprint tablet to use for a foundation. What a great idea! I've used muslin and some poly-cotton fabric I had no other use for. That made my sting quilts rather heavy before I ever got past making the top. I'm buying a newsprint tablet tomorrow, thank you.<br /><br />Karen, several friends have asked me how to make a strip quilt, I;m going to tell them to look at your directions. They are very good, and beautiful too.JoAnne in southern Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148803029813063934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-41665417334760416682014-07-08T00:14:47.934-04:002014-07-08T00:14:47.934-04:00Karen, you might be interested to know that the Be...Karen, you might be interested to know that the Bee I am in is doing a fanned string block swap from your Fandango quilt on the cover of the book-don't remember the name of it right now. I LOVED making those blocks and bought a newsprint tablet to cut my foundations so I wouldn't have to keep measuring as I made the blocks--we are making them 9.5" untrimmed to swap. Taking the paper off has been easy. I enjoyed it so much as I added to them on my design wall, that I decided to enlarge the quilt so made enough blocks for another row wider and 2 rows longer--so is set 7x9. Those are finished so now on to the border string blocks. It's a great quilt and can't wait to finish it!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626219983082188994noreply@blogger.com
