Labyrinth Quilt help
 

I am in the process (just starting) of making a Labyrinth quilt and am wondering if those of you who have made it can give me any hints, suggestions, etc on making this quilt - I would appreciate it lots! Thanks!

Do you mean labyrinth walk?

Yes Labyrinth Walk

This is the quilt I am looking to make

Organization is the key! I used post-it flags, cut all my fabrics following the cutting chart and labeling each set as I went then laid everything out in order. The pattern is well written and easy to follow as long as you label everything and stay organized. I also laid out each block as I went to make sure I didn't turn anything the wrong way

It really isn't as hard as it looks. I was at first intimidated when my son chose this pattern, but once I got going I realized it wasn't too hard for me (an advanced beginner.) Just take your time and enjoy the process

I agree with the organization - label all your pieces - I put mine in plastic bags -and just follow the instructions. Not really hard at all.

I made it and it's really not hard at all, just pay close attention to the instructions.

I have the magazine pattern with the corrections - I didn't buy the pattern in the package - is this a problem? Or, should I buy the pattern in the package? I did read through the pattern I have and it doesn't sound all that difficult if I take it a step at a time

I agree. Organization is the way making sure every piece is in it's proper place. I use scraps of fabrics to number my blocks.

I use big clips from the dollar store to hold my pieces unless there are too many then I put them in zip locs.

Also just make sure you go to the link and print out the corrections (which I just did as I love this quilt, too). I'm going to save it in the pattern bag so I know where it is. Thanks for the reminder.

I saved the pattern when it first came out. (Thanks for the corrections file). I know my son would enjoy it, but to be honest it intimates me. I'd love to see some of your Labyrinth finished quilts.

Ok, I have ordered fabric to make this quilt and I have printed out the pattern and corrections so one I receive the fabric I can get started.

I used clothes pins and wrote the piece number on it with a sharpie. Clothespins are cheap and it really helped keep it organized.

I found that the pattern I used said to place like the picture, but in some pictures it was hard to tell their black from their dark. I had a few pieces upside and, of course, it didn't look right. When I found and printed the corrections, I also found a picture with a better color contrast. That helped a lot. Now that mine is finished, I can't figure out how to quilt it. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow..

Thanks Audrey - I would love to see a photo of your quilt - I am thinking it needs a all over meandering for quilting myself - but once mine is finished I will ask my longarm quilter what she thinks

I don't have a pattern for this so was wondering what is the size of this quilt and how much fabric do I need? It doesn't tell in the pdf instructions, just for all the blocks. Can and how would it be made bigger?

According to the pattern I have the quilt is 84" square and requires 1 2/3 yds white, 2 7/8 yds light color, 2 2/3 yds dark color and 3 1/8 yds black (which includes enough for binding) - each square is 21 3/4" in size -

That quilt is my next one to start. My DH saw a picture and he wants me to make it for our bed. When I told him it was designed by a guy, he said Well yeah! Like there was no doubt. Lol. I'm using grays, black and white.

Thank you Ann Marie. I am going to go look for that magazine; just may have it.

This is the Labyrinth Walk I made for my son. He chose the colors. My long armer quilted a connecting square within a square pattern. I can't find a picture of the finished quilt. I will go home and take one and see if I can get the quilting to show up.

Edited: Just noticed this picture doesn't have the sides borders on it yet. Sorry. But this is not a hard pattern. It looks more difficult than it is. Don't be intimidated.

Thanks for the pic. I can see the rows a bit more clearly here, but my eyes are still spinning. It's on the "list".

Almost finished with the top, Got to stitching the right border. Says to make (1) 6-1/2” x 66-1/4” border. But in my cutting instructions it didn’t mention to cut this length but to cut (2) 6-1/2” x 42 strip. I don’t see where it uses the 42 inch strips. Does it want me to piece my 42 together and trim it to 66 1/4”?

I bought the pattern. It has many more pages then the magazine pattern and much more detailed. You can make it from the magazine pattern though, just may be a little confusing at some steps. There are two corrections in the pattern on his blog. https://theguiltyquilters.blogspot.com/ I don't know if he is still active in the quilting community. No updates at all from his website.

I can't seem to find the quilt magazine site to get this pattern. Can anyone post a link or somewhere I can download this pattern?

Thanks, but the shipping is more than the pattern!

This Etsy shop is Canadian

Wow, Goldenleaf, you're really doing a great job with your searches, very kind of you to help out!

Thanks again Goldenleaf, it is so frustrating that the shipping in all places is way more than the actual cost of the pattern. I will just keep looking.

Last one http://www.funwithstitches.com/shop/...-x12653404.htm. Sorry it’s not clear what the shipping is for a lot of these sites

Have this also, like to make it soon

I have this pattern but feel a little intimidated by it. First of all, fabric colors are so hard for me to decide on. I think this is a wonderful quilt but quite a challenge for me. Good luck on your adventure of making this great quilt
