Take a large scale print. Cut it into 8 exact repeats. Cut it into 8 triangles and see what you get? This is NOT the Bethany Reynold's Stack 'n Whack. I learned this in 2001 from a fellow guild member named Kaye. I bet you can't make just one group!
How about an easy way to Attic Window? This uses my Magical Mitering Method.
Yes, you can miter both blocks and borders without having to wrestle an alligator. Very unorthodox and it works! Visit the
Benartex Blog where I show step by step pictures on how to achieve beautiful miters. This appeared in May 2013.

Sew in Love with Fabric.
This appeared at the
Quilter's Newsletter Blog in March 2013 as an interview with me for the roll out of my new book, Paper Piecing Perfect Points. A lot of pictures to help you get over your fear.

How about
setting blocks on the diagonal? Does the math scare you or confuse you? Here is a step by step tutorial with lots of pictures and a downloadable pdf to work with just about any size block - and even a formula for figuring out an odd size! This was another
Technique Tuesday at the Benartex Blog, Sew in Love with Fabric.
This was another
Technique Tuesday for Benartex Fabrics. This collection is so fantastic! I actually made two runners, but the one featured here uses my special technique for tilting blocks or panels and involves NO WASTE and NO BIAS EDGES as in other techniques.
Here is the other runner I made for a special friend of my daughter's who let us stay in her house when we were visiting from out of town. The blog post is FILLED with so many step by step pictures. Don't you just love these chickens?
From chickens to kitties, what do you think?
