Hi
Thanks for all your kind comments on my quilt, you are all too kind.
A few people asked on dimensions and instructions on how itwas made so here goes.
I started with 10 dark 3 ½ “ squares and 8 light 3 ½” squares which I bordered witha 1 ½ “strip of a medium purple,( I sewed the strips on the sides, then the topand bottom), then another 1 ½ “ strip ofa light purple (done the same way) andthen a 1 ½”strip of white, (done the same again).
Mine ended up 9 ½”square. I then cut 10 squares 9 ½” of thedark purple and 8 x 9 ½”squares of thelight purple floral.
I placed 1 plain square on a pieced square matching thecentre colours and drew a line down the diagonal and then 2 lines ¼” on eitherside of the diagonal. I stitched on those outer 2 lines on all the blocks andthen cut them apart on the centre line. I squared these up to 8 ½”. These arenow your half square triangle blocks.
Have fun playing with your placement.
My first white border was 2 ½” the second medium purpleborder was 1 ½” and the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] dark border was 3 ½ “.
Hope this helps, let me know if I haven’t been clear withany part of it or you would like pictures of anything
