[quote=Jamiestitcher62]I am doing a quilt just like this one "Chinese Coin" and the batik columns are 6 1/2. My pattern calls for the black columns to be 3 1/2, I want to widen them to 5 inches so I can use a specific quilting template. Does anyone think that would look stupid?
I got the pattern for the quilt from a Jelly Roll book. Sounds like the same measurements I used. I don't think increasing the colums to 5 inches would be noticeable at all! I just did about 6 straight lines of quilting down the columns to keep it very modern looking, but a beautiful quilting template would look awesome!
