Mitered Corners
Hi,
I am about to finish my "fairies" quilt and would like to try mitered corners. Anyone have a super (preferably with visual aids) website that can help me get started and try this technique? Do I need any special tools besides my quilting rulers? Thanks, -- Christina Doucette http://community.webshots.com/user/christinark

Ritas site is as good as any....Very clear. I would add though that you can
use straight grain strips for binding as long as there are no curves!:-) -- Mauvice in Central WI USA remove no spam to reply "Rita" wrote in message ... Try my site in Projects.

That's the one! Thanks Lizzy, I couldn't remember where I'd learned to mitre
corners, but that is it. Saved it in my favourites now. :-) I went from never having done one before, to having one not-bad-at-all and three almost perfect corners after using these instructions. Especially if you're a visual learner, check it out! -- Leigh Perth, Western Australia Real email is bearleigh at bigpond dot com "Lizzy Taylor" wrote I swear by the method he http://www.geocities.com/quiltfrenzy/miter.html Lots of clear instructions including step by step photos.
