So many of you have asked for the instructions for the quilt on my avatar that I'm going to do them on here for anyone to read.
First of all, I absolutely HAD to use a design board or wall.
Secondly, I was stash busting and just cut. I have no idea how much fabric I used.
My quilt had 20 16 1/2" blocks plus a white border and then a 6 1/2" border from left over strips
But knowing all that, have a good time if you decide to do this quilt. AND, I want to see pictures. ;-)
White: five 3 1/2" squares, four 3 1/2"x7 1/2" strips per block.
Colors: 2"x width of fabric then sew two together
cut into 3 1/2"x 6 1/2" and 3 1/2"x 12 1/2" strips
You will need one of each cut in 4 different colors per block.
I sewed the four outer (white sq, colored strip and white strip) sections together then attached them to the center square. Then I squared it up to 16 1/2". Pressing as I went was a must for me also as was pinning when I attached the blocks together. I attached them as I went to keep from getting them mixed up. When I finished the second strip I attached it to the first. If you have any questions just pm me.
Once you get going it goes pretty fast, I think I pieced this top in 10 days. :D I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
I was going to do a tute but I don't have time right now and several of you wanted to get started so. . . . .
