   Good morning,  Do you mean no raw edges show?  I don't see how it can be done with absolutely invisible seams, at least in organza.  I don't remember seeing an article like that but I'm missing a few issues.  Tish will know where.      rjf

   Sounds like you may be looking for Windowpane Patchwork from Issue #90 (Aug/Sept 2000).

   The strips need to be on straight grain (not bias) and if you're using silk organza I would recommend washing it first to soften it.  We did the article showing sheer fabrics but personally I prefer it to make a reversible fabric, using two colorways back to back.  And yes, there really are no raw edges!

   Thank you! that is the one - now I need to find the issue or a copy of the article.  Can you help?  This is my first time in this  forum and I am delighted with the quick response .

   Click on Threads in the upper right corner of your screen.  You can buy back issues, but I would suggest looking in your local library first.  Unfortunately, copyright laws prevent me from "helping" on my own!

   Thank you so much - there evidently are no morecopies of issue #90 but I  contacted the friend who now has my old copies - she did still have it and will bring it to me I found some samples of beautiful fabric which will turn into a nice blouse - I hope_  Thanks again.  Janet

   My local library keeps only the last year's worth of magazines but when I asked about an issue older than that, they said they could get it through interlibrary loan.  That might be a last resort.      rjf

   I thought at first that Janet was making a garment and needed a seam finish but this sounds much more interesting.  Isn't it possible to access some of the older articles  on-line?  Maybe it's just title and subject?  I'll go try now.       rjf
