They are wonderful. I especially love the 30's and the batik ones. I haven't had a leader and ender project going for quite awhile now, and my spider is getting fat and now I feel that I really need to use that little bit of time and thread for a better purpose. Need to get a project figured out and set it beside my machine and be more productive with my time. Thanks for sharing your dresden project, I love it. I did one for my daughter when she was born 20 yrs ago and some of he scrap red, bled in the wash. I have always loved them though. I love the purple and lime strip pieced and cut on the diagonal. Need to find which book that is in, love it. Have fun, I know you will..Natalie in Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074104251813496164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47581233365646039372014-01-13T08:41:17.520-05:002014-01-13T08:41:17.520-05:00Love the ideas you guys have for leaders and ender...Love the ideas you guys have for leaders and enders, I am currently working on Blue Mountain Majesty as a L&E.

I have cut 4.5" squares and 6" squares. Pairing light and dark, I have marked an X on the light squares and am sewing on both sides of each line. Then putting them aside. Someday, when I figure out a project so I know what size I will need, each of those sewn squares will yield 8 HST's ready to be trimmed to whatever size I need.

Once done, clip the end, turn inside out and press. This makes it easy that you do not have to applique a raw edge turned under - the edge is folder under by the initial seam. Sounds difficult and awkward but works slick.

Some time while putting those fabuloous HUGE blocks together I decide to also start working on a stack od square triangles. The grand Teen wants a quilt she picked out the colors, fabrics, and pattern. Then has not been here to help! I have a lot of them marked and am sticking them in to the L&E as I connect the Easy street blocks. <br />I finished the 16 main blocks and need to find some time to get the last 9 sets compiled. <br />I can only seem to find a few hrs aday to sew. (I'm retired!) Still w the L&E project I feel more productive when I have limited time!Carolyn Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591809412054783126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-59591016742208432012013-01-13T08:09:34.430-05:002013-01-13T08:09:34.430-05:00Absolutely wonderful quilts .

You have me hooked on the vintage machines, I have three with various projects next to them, running smoothly. Last week I found a red eye treadle which has consumed my nights, her and I are still on the bobbin area,decrudding,poor thing! I bought another this weekend, 1889 fiddle base with shuttle, she also needs attention, her name is Jenny . Today I need to focus on easy street putting all my blocks together!
