Shannon & Pam Quilts

Adjustments.


Pam's 12 blocks are 11 inches square, Shannon's are 12 inches square. So we'll add 1/2 inch (cut size = 3/4 inch) to all 4 sides of Pam's blocks using a different dark print for each block. Then we'll arrange the 12 blocks in 4 rows of 3 each: top row will have 3 of Shannon's blocks, next row will have 3 of Pam's, third row will have 3 of Shannon's, 4th, bottom row will have 3 of Pam's. We'll add 3 inches of black sashing between all blocks. Cut size of black strips will be 3 1/4 inches [8/23 correction: 3 1/2 inches; must always db-check my math]. (I wonder how I can get rid of this underlining...)

Thanks for figuring this out and for posting Justin's pic. I think the cut size for the strips that go around your blocks should be 1", right? Not 3/4. My thinking is that yours will come out being 11 3/4 and mine will still be 12.

Peekaboo....

May 2009: next project

  • Cutting our scraps into 4" blocks and sewing them together, and tying them. For donation to a fire dept for kids who are displaced after a fire.

Shannon's ideas for next projects (in quotes); with Pam's comments.

  • "A quilt of long, strips of fabric sewn together." A log cabin maybe?
  • "One of those crazy (but not) quilt blocks. We could design one together" next time we have lunch. "And make the blocks the same size" 12 inches maybe? "and with the same main fabric" maybe that bright red/magenta floral fabric? "and then we could switch off." If we each do 30 blocks we would end up with a 60 x 72 inch quilt.
  • "Needles-n-Pins, a quilt store in Frederick, accepts quilts for kids. They donate them to the local fire dept. for when kids are the victims of fires and lose their homes." Pam will do more research.
  • "Cutting our scraps into 4" blocks and sewing them together, and tying them and then we could either donate them to" Needles-n-Pins!! see above.
  • round robin
