Hmm, sounds like fun....found this thread by accident....will it always be posted on board, or is there a secret passage to keep in touch......I think I want to try this, but if I can't find the rest of the steps it will be frustrating....ok, going downstairs to sewing cave, pulling out my 3 1/2" die and begin cutting..........

Wow, lots of activity in the 24 hours since I last visited! Welcome back to many new faces, and also love seeing al the new gals, too.
Those who want to makr a large bed quilt: This unit I am giving instructions for make a top of 44" x 58". I've done a rough count if you have the newer thick mattresses, allowing a minimum 16" drop. So if you make 6 units (that would be 72 4-patch blocks) you will have more than enough for a king with a few leftovers, and maybe 5 units (60 4-patch) for a queen and also a few left over. I'll have some suggestions at the final week to let you know how I would assemble the blocks into these sizes as there will be some differences in your cutting for the final step.
Also, if you are on AOL, you can bookmark this thread into your "favorites" column or put on the top too bar to find it easily.

mama those look more like usable hunks! LOL
I throw scraps in a big box, then when the mood strikes and don't feel like sewing, I cut into sizes I use the most, which are 3-1/2" and 4-1/2" squares and 1-1/2" and 2-1/2" wide strips.

Judy, you mentioned about posting the next clue Friday-perfect for me.
Grammahunt I think my blocks are very dark, but I decided with them being so dark I could use lights that aren't real light
Jillmc I LOVE log cabin patterns and perfect to use our stash. Is the Kentucky log cabin different from the orginal ones we usually make?
