Why do the leaders and enders you plan to use in a quilt not clog up if you don't have a folded leader first? deborah.rodems@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155825146260689298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55975507228201098332020-07-17T15:12:17.017-04:002020-07-17T15:12:17.017-04:00What a great idea!

She had used 2 1/2" squares as the leaders/enders. When she held it up all the sewn squares were hanging off the edges, this MUST have been in 2001, she proclaimed "hanging chads!" We have called anything with a 2 1/2" 4-patch a hanging chad ever since!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246410587282318808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70253360847695783332015-03-03T11:27:52.252-05:002015-03-03T11:27:52.252-05:00This is such a great idea.

I have the fabric and plan to get it going. I am just getting back into quilting again so I don't have a stash, yet.

I'm making my 4 patches with 2 1/2 inch squares because I have so many that size, my HST will be made either with 7 " squares and sewing together 1/4 all around and then cut diagonally or with 3 1/2 " strips using a triangle ruler. Will share photo's in a email to Bonnie. I so hope this works out , I have never done this before but my first finished block looks great. <br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419387201051256888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-43488092933758501642013-09-14T07:13:21.025-04:002013-09-14T07:13:21.025-04:00Never heard of leaders & Enders before, always...Never heard of leaders & Enders before, always like to learn something new.
