Great advice from all! One thing I would say is that when you are ready to put it all together with the background triangle (squares cut in half diagonally), deliberately cut them an inch or two bigger than you think you need them and then trim them after you sew them. This will take care of any "personal variations" with your sewing. And please note, I am not assuming that you have personal variations since you are a newbie.....I have them too, and I've been quiltmaking for about 30 years now! You just learn tricks to handle the minor oopsies..... ;)

I'm very new at quilting and have been asked to make a table runner, I found a picture of one that would work, but there's no name or pattern with it, just the fact that she bought it somewhere. Could someone please tell me what the name of the block is? Thanks so much! Here is the website http://margoobrien.blogspot.com/2011...le-runner.html

I was wondering what it would look like if you "Disappeared" it. The four sides that get cut would be three pieces.
I'm going to try that - - - - someday! |
I love trying to figure out how a block is constructed. I use EQ7 to draft my blocks. It's a wonderful tool. Once you have created the block, you can size it to whatever size you want.

[QUOTE=GeeGee;6575813]The block is the Chunky Churn Dash and Bonnie Hunter has a free pattern with tutorial.Click here: Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!: Chunky Churn Dash!
[/QUOTEThat is awsome GeeGee! I am a HUGE Bonnie fan. |
It is beautiful and I know I saw a pattern very much like it, but for the life of me I can't remember where. Since it is so geometric I agree that graphing it should be very easy. You can do it!

Thank you so very much for all your responses ladies, you all are such a fantastic resource!
