Coming Soon!
In only 3 weeks, we will begin making several blocks that are most easily and accurately made using strip techniques.The 3/4-inch finished squares and strips can be cut with a regular ruler, but I will be showing you the advantages of using our 3/4-inch finished Log Cabin Ruler #8037.
Because most of the lines on the 3/4-inch side of the ruler are exactly 3/4-inch apart, making the "second cut" across the pieced strip visually easy.

Making Charlotte
Take advantage of cutting the fabrics for both halves of Charlotte at the same time. It is really very straightforward.If you don't have Set M, there aren't many pieces of each shape to cut using the patterns provided in the book.
My Charlotte Block
You can see on the back where Marti's Choice Fusible Tape has been fused on the longest edge (hypotenuse) of the pieced halves:
