Talk about tiny pieces. Each block has 28 pieces in it and mine is completely red and green scrappy from fabrics left to me by a quilter. Don't like HST? Get yourself an Easy Angle Ruler and quickly get it! You will be amazed at how easy HST are when using this ruler. The companion ruler also cuts triangles and it is so easy. There are you tube tutorials out there on these but start with easy angle. The Easy Angle cuts the pieces with a blunt end that easily goes through the machine. And if you start with a leader piece of fabric, you can alleviate the sucking as well. Hope this helps! tealeafquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214543099275757978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252320607766646025.post-14081068706987739282014-01-28T04:56:02.838-06:002014-01-28T04:56:02.838-06:00I was never very interested in the Farmer's Wi...I was never very interested in the Farmer's Wife quilts until I saw one done up in only reds and whites. Gorgeous! The only way I would make one is to hand piece it. Like you, too many little pieces that I know would get sucked down into my machine into no man's land.<br /><br />Your little boards look like they have been very well loved. I don't use these type of boards (yet) but if I were to start hand piecing I'm sure I would find them very helpful. I love these boards: http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/2011/07/mini-design-board-tutorial.htmlRobin (RsIslandCrafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06875986169322073281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252320607766646025.post-82679968793156618962014-01-28T04:30:19.714-06:002014-01-28T04:30:19.714-06:00I know my limits so wont try the Farmers Wife but ...I know my limits so wont try the Farmers Wife but so admire those of you that do!<br />Ive come late to piecing and loving EPP and scarppy piecing at the moment but I can lust after your achievements at least and of others who excell at what they tackle : )<br />Love the board lol lets face it, less money spent on one of those means more fabric in the hand, right?
