Second, it is currently in vogue to make quilts of this pattern by adding row after row until you get to the size you would like for a quilt! For example, the "quilt" at left could be made, by cutting 10" squares and you would have a top that measured...90" x 110".....easy!! If I were going to make a whole quilt this way I would probably strip piece it by cutting 10-1/2" strips of each fabric, sewing them together in the order Color 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4, to the desired amount of strips, which would then be cut apart at 10-1/2" intervals, staggered, and re-sewn together, to make the design...OR... |

What about saying to HECK with what's currently the
trend and going back to making this quilt by blocks, as I showed originally, instead??
This can be strip pieced as well and really does whip up FAST! To do this, sew together
strips that are 2-1/2"wide instead, and cut them at 2-1/2" intervals after they have
been reassembled in the proper order. To me, this is one of those quilts people really
would OOH and AHHH over, thinking it took you forever to piece ALL THOSE PIECES, you know
what I mean? In any event....great pattern...and all for this time!! Happy Quilting! Marcia :o) on to Page 3 for Supplies Needed! Linda's ! Lesley's! Paula's! Sandy's! Maggie's! Jo's! Angella's! Kim's! Shannon's! Marina's! Jeanne's! Lori's TATW Front, Back Devon's Sheila's! Larissa's! |
