I have to get this quilt done PDQ for DH's uncles 80th birthday. They're in California and we're in Texas. Got notified two weeks ago, but I had other quilts I had to finish because of their deadlines. Here's my problem now.
We won't be there but DH wants to send them a siggy quilt that they can sign at this party. I have a design using a panel to speed things up quite a bit. I don't have or know how to use EQ so I did it in Print Shop.
Once I measure my panel for exact dimensions, I'll be adding the checkered multi color strip, the woodgrain strip (where the size can flex to accomodate the siggy squares), but I have no idea how to determine what size to cut the siggy squares to make it all fit.
It probably expands more than this drawing shows. because there's no true proportions here. I'm guessing it won't look this tight - but maybe...
I see it looks a lot "Gingerbready" and not so manly - any suggestions how to tone that down or do you think it will be o.k. once the proportions are accurate? Is there a better lay out plan out there for this concept? The 80 siggy squares for 80th birthday was just coincidence.
Basically it's a panel, 2 strips, siggy squares then 1 strip and binding. Does Eq tell you how to size everything or am I just stuck asking a professor to help me?
Hugs, (even if you can't help me)
