Jenny does a tutorial on it using 3 fabrics. 2 fabrics are cut into 2.5" strips and 1 fabric is cut into a 4.5" strip then you sew them together to make a tube.
I want to make a 3 fabric quilt for a friend of mine and this one looked pretty easy...which means I'll have a hard time with it! LOL
I've never seen that tutorial until now. Pretty neat. I might have to give it a try. Like I don't have enough quilt ideas hanging out there already, ha ha.
Now I wish she had indicated how much fabric you need. My mom bought me some fabric in the states while she was vacationing so I have a limited supply of it. I'd hate to start a quilt and run out of fabric!
Any time you are working with hst you will be sewing on the bias. Several people use spray starch to help minimize stretch. I personally think, as I have done hundreds of hst, as long as you don't pull the fabric while sewing and press not iron you should be fine.
I made three tablerunners last year for Christmas gifts. They were very easy and went together so quickly.

I made a quilt using this paatern. Worked up very quickly, like mentioned in previous post, PRESS not iron.... as this will stretch the hst and make them as Jenny says..."wonkey". Very nice pattern.....
