I am also using the Acorn Precision piecing seam align glue I bought at a quilt show for Precision Piecing instead of pins or hanging on tight. Works terrific on the small pieces.

O my stars swap
I have not participated in a swap for a long time. The last time I started, I had a heart attack, so I thought when Barb put it out, I would go for it and do the modern blocks. I don't like making the flying geese in the big square with little squares method, so I used my Easy Angle and Companion Angle ruler. I have made about 20 so far. After it dawned on me that I have a 2 1/2" triangle die. I am going to recut the rest of the triangles on it so I can be really, really precise. I will still use the Companion Angle for the white triangle and they are all cut.

Off to find out more about this magic glue... Have fun making those blocks for the swap. AND... no more heart attacks!!!
Beautiful perfect little stars!
I love the stars Linda. Star quilts have become a favorite of mine. I especially like the scrappy ones.
I haven't heard of this glue before. I have just been using a regular glue stick. It helps me a lot.
I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving.
They look great. You are becoming Miss precise here! The color combo is always a favorite too.
Your blocks look fantastic! Never heard of piecing glue before.
I'm making blocks for this swap too!
I think there must be a dozen ways to make FG blocks. I, too, dislike any of the methods that require folding and trimming, and it's been my recent mission to find a better one. Currently working with the Creative Grids ruler for the snowball-like corners, but it still works best when you start with the square. :-| Not for those of us wanting to save fabric and keep those dog ears off, btw. The CG Flying Geese ruler seems to be my fav since strip cut, and then already matched. You have a die set?? this I will be following since I have my eye on one at the moment. I'll be watching this progress, Linda, and hoping you enjoy the holiday season along the way.
great blocks - and whatever works to get the right size is a-okay with me! great post.
I'm sharing on our FB page today
p.s. I'm so glad that you recovered and can swap this time!
Interesting. I have never heard of the seam align glue.
