Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice here. I am planning to do a quilt from the Eleanor Burns book - Quick Trip Quilts. I had first thought of doing the actualt TATW pattern - but after looking through the book I prefer the Quick Quarter Quilts. These are basically cut in squares but the pattern just runs on the diagonal - still strip and tube pieced. Her pattern calls for 12 1/4 yards of different fabrics to do a 45 x 52 crib size quilt. My question is this - probably a silly question unless I am expecting the quilt police to show up BUT - I want to do this but have 8 fabrics and don't want to add more. I think I can make it work if I just reuse two of the 8 fabrics again around the outside edges. Anyone with thoughts or advice with regard to this plan?
TIA,
Chris
