small apple core template
 
Sometime ago I purchased the small apple core template from MSQC and I have never tried it. I recently was asked to make a memory quilts and she mentioned that she loves the apple core... so I thought I pull the template out and get busy

What I am struggling with is sizing. How do I know how many of the small apple cores are needed for a certain size quilt? Does anyone know?

I have had the template for some time, so if there was any paperwork I lost it.

Does anyone know how many of the small apple cores go into certain size quilts?

Please let me know

thank you for your responses - I do appreciate the help

I was able to find the ones that you shared, but they are not the same size as the MSQC small apple core template. I can't seem to find the quilt sizes using the small MSQC apple core template. I can't believe its that hard to find !

What size are you hoping to make?

What you could do .....
.... use the template and draw out several of them together. Maybe? fill a whole sheet of paper?

Then you would know how many it takes to cover about 8"x10" (for example), and could calculate from there.

What size is the small template. Must know size before calculation.

I have Shar Jorgenson's (Quilting from the Heartland) apple core, it's approximately 4.75 inches long, and 2.75 in the cores. She has layouts for large quilts but not really a chart to do for sizing, but for approximating two together in a T shape would be roughly 7" (4.5+2.5, taking off seam allowances). The final row size with alter a little after that on whether you have an inny- or an outie- row.

I'd measure your template, figure out your two-piece section and figure your length and width that way and that it would be close enough. No borders typically for an applecore...

I would contact Missouri star, I bet they would tell you.

Thanks everyone! I do appreciate all of the comments

toogie - I really don't know. I just wanted to know when I should stop cutting blocks :) If I can give them back an uncut shirt I would rather do that than cut a bunch of extra blocks that will be pitched

QuiltE - that is a good idea... I will have to think about that

Quilt 30 - the template is approx 3-3/4" at widest x 4-1/2" at longest

Iceblossom - it seems like everyone's templates are different sizes ... ugh

toverly - I just may do that :)
