King Size Blooming Nine Patch
My daughter and her husband have picked out the Blooming Nine Patch for their king bed. I have made one before but the pattern only goes to 72x82. I do not want to add borders or increase the width of the strips. Do you think by increasing the number of colors from 8 to 12 I can get the length to 110 inches? After speaking with the long arm quilter the plan is to make the length be 110 and my daughter will have to place the quilt on the bed sideways. She needs 110 inches for the quilt to come to the bed rails, but the quilter says her longarm width maximum is 100 inches. And daughter is perfectly fine with that. The plan is for us to use gray/silver in the center, then a couple of rows with silver/teal mix and finish with the last rows graduating from light teal to dark teal in an ombre effect. Wish me luck. I won't be starting until the weather turns a little warmer as I plan to lay out the blocks on tarp/batting in the garage since I can't sew the rows together until all the blocks are cut and positioned.
