So, this is my practice run. How do I learn how to use the system? By doing it.
This was my first attempt at learning to use Thangles. It was a BOM kit I purchased at Bella's Quiltworks many years ago. There was enough fabric in the kit to complete 2 quilts.
I have to say, I liked working with Thangles. It was a fun way to figure out different patterns using triangles and squares. I think they lend themselves particularly well to the 1930's reproductions fabrics, although I also completed a civil war reproductions quilt (to be posted later) and a batik theme quilt. I used my stash to complete the sashing, and used the scraps to complete the borders. I also used these quilts as practice for learning to stitch feathering. It feels like the quilt is more 'my creation' if I have completed every element of that creation. I am still practicing the feathering.
