Tips for Borders and Piecing with Janna Thomas | Bloc_Loc Rulers

(Show 1803) Janna Thomas finds much of her quilting inspiration in flowers and antique stitchery designs. Her specialty is borders, and she shares her ideas for transitioning a quilt from the center out to the border – or borders!  She is a stickler for accuracy, and she shares basic tips on creating accurate blocks, as well as how to prepare and handle them during assembly, to keep them from losing their shape. She demonstrates how to make quick diamond-in-a-square and triangle-in-a-square blocks. Frustration with her cutting ruler prompted her husband Paul to design a new ruler for her, and they now have a quilting tool company. They share the sweet story of how they met, and why they named their company Courtship Quilts.  Alex and Ricky each have their favorite – and least favorite – tools for marking quilts. They debate the merits and drawbacks of various quilt tools.

Then I put the fabric in my freezer. The marks returned. I then washed and dried the fabric scraps. The marks disappeared and did not return when I put the fabric scraps back in the freezer.
