Turning Twenty quilt
I love how quickly the Turning Twenty and Turning Twenty Again quilt top goes together, But...... I really dislike how large the pieces are. The blocks seem so Big and Busy.. I am thinking of cutting the pieces half the size rather than cutting it full size. I will have to make twice as many blocks but, I just think it will reduce the Business of this quilt. What do you think?

Could you use the same method as the disappearing 9 patch and cut them up?

It would probably look similar to a Yellow Brick Road pattern if you cut down the size.

Decide how big you want a block and simply adjust the three pieces to get the finished size you want.
If you use a 3" square instead of a 6" square, you'll be making Four times as many blocks. (3 & 6 were just examples) |

if you want to - go for it! another way is to construct the blocks the size they are---then cut them in 1/4's turn them and sew them back together---or into any number or shape- it is your project-and it is wonderful to (get creative) with your projects and Mmake them your own
show us pictures of what you come up with- you may create a whole new world of turning 20's :) |

What I meant was that both are basically different sized squares and rectangles that make up a larger square. Same as Yellow Brick Road. Of course they are different designs, but do have similar style to them. |
Thanks
Wonderful ideas. Thanks for all your help.

To get around the busy look of the Turning 20 quilt, I used some of the same fabric multiple times instead of using 20 different fat quarters. Using the same fabric added some continuity to the quilt, and I really like how the quilt turned out.
