QNS--you are correct...we will do blocks 2 blocks a month starting with the "April" block on the Quilting on the Square website.

We will have to wait until Honchey returns from her sister's to make sure, but I am thinking we will do block #1 and #2 for Sept, #3 and #4 for Oct, #5 and #6 for Nov...take December off...then start in Jan with #7 and #8, etc, etc.

Belfrybat--since none of us has made all the blocks yet, we aren't exactly sure on the fabric requirements...I got 2 yards of my background and around 12 FQs (most from my stash). Some are getting a yard of different fabrics, not sure how many fabrics in all though (Jeanie, what did you decide?).

JeanieG 08-07-2013 06:16 PM

Belfrybat - the amount of yardage is not listed on the patterns. The blocks are really big - 12 blocks 16" x 14", and I want to use the same fabrics throughout the quilt. I have been eyeing some 1 yard pieces I had in my stash, and I picked up a few more online. I'll post my fabrics before too long, just have not gathered them all together yet. I am also getting 2 yards for the white on white background.

I hope you'll join us!

I know that it doesn't take much twisting ... besides these aren't all that hard, or a very big commitment, being that it's only two per month. You gotta come with us OKSGlad!

... ditto to what the others have said, as QOTS have not posted any yardage requirements. It's very scrappy friendly, though you do need a good amount for the backgrounds. Of course, they could be scrappy too. Hope this means you are going to join in with us. Please do say YES! :)
