Not a real tutorial but if you are like me and can get inspired by photos- here goes---(yes I know you get the same effect by adding triangles to the opp. corners of a sq) I already had the chisels cut so I am working this shape- you can use different fabrics for the two pieces. Mix it up it all turns out great.

The stripes matching is purely accidental- just goes to show how accurate this die is! |
I am slowly getting to the bottom of my chisel bin. Looks like I have just enough for a couple of more scrappy tops after this one :)
|
I pulled a handful of light colored triangles for my corners. |
|
chain sew, make sure you have bobbin thread every once in awhile- lol |
|
I had 80 sets pre-cut so this top will be sew 8 x 10 blocks |

If case you are wondering why my machine is set on a place mat. The answer is I am sewing on the dinning room table and I can just push the machine out of the way if I need the space. This machine is a cheapie from Walmat and I have gotten a lot of mileage out of it. Great stitch and good speed. Scrap quilting doesn't need to be expensive.
