As soon as you said applique I dropped off the deep end..*VBS* I do agree that 2" finished isn't much space to work with.<br>If the appliqued triangles doesn't work out, maybe your could apply yo-yo's in clusters or groups...with a stem? Too whimisical???<br>Good luck with it and I truly hope yours is without the offending black!

Anyhow, I found this book and it has the applique dogtooth border in it:<br>http://tinyurl.com/p85g5<br>I hope this helps.<br>I don't care for round or row robins much. I just did one and when I got the rows back I had all different lengths, had to take one row apart and put it back together to make it fit - it was too big, and sewed some of my extra neutral on the ends of another row to make it long enough. One of the ladies totally disregarded my request and only used 2 colors in the whole row even though I specified what I preferred and she was the 4th to get it so she saw what everyone else did. It was quite frustrating and now I have to figure out how to put it together and not have it look weird.<br>http://thefrogpryncess.blogspot.complfreitaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00008774988367244895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-45263864108036490482006-09-09T23:03:00.000-05:002006-09-09T23:03:00.000-05:00Congrats on getting the last round finished!

I don't know if she has instructions for the method in any of her books or patterns. Also Bonnie Browning demonstrated the technique on Simply Quilts once.
