Quilting Aggi

I have all my strips sewn, and started cutting them out.. still have more cutting to do before making them into four patches.. I have my sewing group tonight, so I will continue making my four patches. Hopefully by the weekend I'll be ready for Step 2!!

Knot Sew

Ok done and my grandaughter just pressed them. I made extra cause a few are wonky.

I need a granddaughter to help me! Looks great. You will all get to see mine this weekend for sure!

Ruth, those are great! Mine look so boring now! And here I thought I was being scrappy!

DonnaRae

You are wrong, yours looks great too :!:

I just noticed something while I was at the site. The yardage directions call for:

For this quilt you will need:

Approximately 1.5 yards of light (neutral) scraps cut into 2" strips.
Approximately 1.5 yards of dark scraps cut into 2" strips.
Approximately 3/4 yard of dark scraps cut into 3.5" strips.

Yet the fabric she choose is:
2 yards of Orange with a little red leaf in it.
1.5 yards of a red documentaries print with little black picotage designs
1.5 yards of vintage looking black with white doodads spaced randomly.
Assorted pieces of blue/white indigo 3/4 a yard

Even without the blue/white it is more fabric that what the directions state. I don't think the directions are right because I can not see 3 3/4 yards of fabric making a 77 by 90 quilt.

I am going to email her and ask. But be ready. Maybe she just decided to make a larger one. I will find out.

I like both of your scrappy blocks. Isn't is fun to see what scrappy means to different people.
I'll have to post my blocks. Mine are mixture of both of yours.

I interpreted it to mean that you need all of that fabric. The scraps of strips to make 4 patches and the yardage.

????? Let us know what you find out..

DonnaRae

Well she put in the directions "for this quilt you will need" and it is the lesser amount of fabric. And she choose way more then what this "quilt will need". So I am baffled. But I did email her. It is late and I am not sure where she is (time zone) so probably won't hear from her untill tomorrow I hope. I guess as long as we have enough for step one. But I am going to plan on it being more like the amounts she did for herself.

Me too. I hope she means the yardage that is more...I already dug through my stash and laid everything aside. It still didn't make a dent but, I want to use it up! :wink:
