thats a hexagon, stupid.

heyy guys i love your shows they are totallly awesome!! but i have a prob!!!! I just started going out with this guy who is just abosolutly lovely but his birthday is in 2 weeks away and i dont knwo what to get him!! i dont want to give him something over the top cos we just started going out but i want to make him something but i hvae limited resources doe u guys have any cool ideas??

Where are you guys! I miss you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I need a baby gift by Sunday, and now I know just what I want to do, a crib quilt!  Another reason to love ThreadBanger. *smile*

Must say that I've made plenty of Hexagon patchwork quilts/pillow covers etc without using the paper templates.  It's easy to do.

Great stuff - but that's a hexagon.

Caroline, it's a hexagon, 6 sides, not a pentagon, 5 sides. Common nane for this pattern is "Grandmothers Garden" old, old pattern. Try pressing the folded pieces with a little spray starch, it should help hold the crease better. You may want to consider learning how to sew this patch on the machine, it involves using Y seams, much faster.
If you think you like quilting check out your local Guild, most places have one. Many have shows, you won't regret going. Young, old, male, female lots of very exciting things being done.

yeaaah! i was on the show!!!! woohoo!

Yay!  Bloopers!

you two crack me up and quilting with buck is a true gem. loves it!!!

Wow!  I was mentioned on Threadbanger!!  You wouldn't believe my surprise when I was watching my weekly Threadbanger on my TiVo, and I see my own quilt!!  I really appreciate the mention, and it is making me smile all day!  

I would like to mention, though, that I am male.  "Jackal of all Trades" is me, and I'm a dude (notice the goatee in the user photo on my Flickr page)

Thanks again, and you have inspired me to start my 2nd quilt, this time for my twin sister.

That art piece of hers is beautiful!

Megan Nicolay's "Generation T" book shows you how to make a t-shirt quilt.  I amsaving my most very favorite t-shirts for this project!

people make mistakes so the whole penta/hexa should be such a big deal. we would all make a mistake or two 

I can't wait for next week!!!!!!!!!
