Have You Made A Day and Night Quilt?
I need to know about how much yardage would be needed for a 3 color
Day and Night, (Eleanor Burns), quilt in a Queen size. My mother is legally blind, (macular d.), and she can't read her book. Unfortunately, I can't seem to help her by phone. |
I made à king sized one a few years ago. For a queen size, you need 7.5 yards for the day blocks, third border and binding, 7.25 yards for the night blocks and second border, and 2 yards for the accent blocks and first border.
|
A queen is 7 1/2 yards Day fabric (which includes the binding) , 7 1/4 yards night and 2 yards accent fabric. Backing is 9 1/2 yards.
|
You know there is a video of EB making this quilt. It might just help your mother with making hers.
|
I just watched her two shows on that quilt. Her shows are free on her quilt in a day website.
|
Thank you so much everybody.:)
Yes, we looked at the video last week when I was at her house, but I don't recall Eleanor giving yardage, just showing how to make strips and how to place the ruler etc. Mom is going to be so happy with this information. |
Hi Mousie! I recently saw a Day and Night quilt at our local quilt show. It was awesome. I hope we get to see the finished product. :)
|
hi! so good to see you!
I'll try to get pics when my m gets done with it. She is surprised by the amount of yardage, but Eleanor did say on the video that it took a lot. About five years ago she gave me a paper with swatched glued on and now she tells me that it was a pattern for a very precise Lemoyne Star. I've never made one so it would be nearly impossible for me to know one pattern from another. |
Good luck. I have started to cut mine out, but I got sidetracked.
|
Your so welcome mousie.
