I can see becoming very fond of this sort of thing if it were easy. hugs,

Thank-you Lady for taking the time to go to your EQ and measurements for cutting the pieces. The EQ software amazes me, however I guess I don't want or need to learn a new thing, I struggle with quilting and at my age I guess, I don't need anymore struggles. :0) Thanks so much Lady!!!

and this is how I put then together

When arranged this way - two rectangles sewn tog are 12 1/2" unfinished or 12" finished. Hope this helps.

Thanks so very much for showing me your stunning quilt. Also for cutting instructions and the color drawing that definitely helps this very visual person! Your layout is fun too! Thanks so very, very much.

True to the awesomeness of this forum not only just someone but several someone's including you were kind enough to take time to help me out.
Thank-you GrannieAnnie for jumping in and helping this pattern 'dependent' person.

That's what I also come up with.
I used the "high-tech method" of measuring the pieces on my computer screen to get the (approximate) ratios of the pieces.
The cross pieces seemed to be the same length as the long pieces and three long pieces seemed to be the width of the cross pieces.
So the finished sizes of the cut pieces could be: 2 x 6 (cut size: 2-1/2 x 6-1/2) -
With the popularity of the jelly rolls (2-1/2 inch strip packs), this would seem to be a likely choice for the size.
There are other possibilities, all using the same ratios:
Finished size of piece: 1 x 3 (cut size: 1-1/2 x 3-1/2)
Finished size of piece: 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 (cut size: 2 x 5)
Finished size of piece: 2-1/2 x 7-1/2 (cut size: 3 x 8)
Finished size of piece: 3 x 9 (cut size: 3-1/2 x 9-1/2)

If you are doing a scrappy quilt, cutting all the strips individually is great. But you could also make this quilt in strips...sew three strips together for the middle, cut them to size, and sew on the end pieces. More of your blocks will be the same, but it would go faster.

That's my neighbours quilt with my quilting!!
It is very simple. All the fabric is cut into 2.5 inch strips by 6.5 inches. I can't give you the ratio but I think I remember the center strip needs at least 2.5 yards to make a decent size quilt.
Cut the centers to size only and leave the other fabric in strips.
As you sew the fabric to the center piece you trim each out piece to length. In fact you can strip piece this as a continuous line cutting it apart at the end.
After the two sides are sewn attach top and bottom.
Hope that helps.
