A simple way around this is just the size you down and make a mini quilt – small version of a great man. Talk A quilt depending on the type of model you have is quite easy, especially because the square is easy quilt patterns on most. Heresome suggestions.
1. Use 1.5-inch strip piecing.
I am a queen of the strip-piecing techniques. My first quilt was a log cabin, well, I was hooked from then on. Now a lot of designs, strip-piecing techniques tell you strip used in 2.5 or 3.5 average. Instead, follow the same direction and only 1.5 inch strips. I made my first quilt when I could not hobby, buy a new one for that matter. I bought fat quarters – 1each color I need and I went on there.
2. Use only half the size of the squares.
Subtract the square of 0.5 and then divide by two and then add 0.5 (the seam with a seam quarter of an inch). Example – Suppose your model calls for a 6.5 square inches. And it's all square. Subject to 0.5 inches = 6 Take 6 and divide by 2, add back in the third seam allowance – 3.5. And there you go
3. Just use 2.5-inch square.
This is a great waypacked up all the charm to see if you want to invest in more fuel. Sometimes I like something in a shop at home, but when I then sew the top of the quilt, I hate him. With these tips for mini quilts or quilts sometimes I like to call the test is reduced to the buyer's remorse.
So if you have no time for a laptop or something bigger pool, simply take your favorite quilt and sizes, up to a Mini. Mini quilts are fun,nice and easy way to solve quilting.
Oh, and if you're wondering why I did not even give you instructions on how to be a size down triangles, which, due to, uh, I do not know. I'm kind of a girl strip and square.
