My computer is acting up and I can not get the pictures to post. I am working on a WV quilt. I have 2 fabrics that have West Virginia on them. The white fabric has WV, helmets & basketball.

The blue WV fabric already has squares on it so cutting it for my large square is going to waste a lot of the fabric.

I did find a solid navy blue that I could add to the quilt. I really hope this finally post:-)

That navy blue works WAY better than white would, in my opinion. I like what you're doing. It looks great. Your nephew should love it.

I second the motion on the Color Catchers in the wash.

YAY! Pictures!

I like the navy much better than white.
And I like the blocks made out of the WV block fabric.

The mix of the 3 different blocks is fabulous. You could make some 4 patches with the white print and navy fabric, or some with the navy and yellow.

But it's fine if you just keep the 3 you have already. It's just perfect for a college kid.

Your nephew is going to love it!

I don't have a lot of the navy blue but I did wash,dry & iron it. What about the other blue with the WV in it? Do u think I should cut them the way I have and waste a lot of the fabric doing it?

I don't know how much you have and how big you want the quilt.
But, honestly, I really, really like that WVblock fabric.

If you cut it carefully, you can always use the leftover squares mixed in with whatever leftovers you have and put it on the back.

So what if they're not perfect squares with the pattern. The colors and logos will still bring the theme over to the back.

Will that give you enough fabric to make the size you want?

I have another another ? I changed my 2 1/2 stripped to 3 1/2 so what size does that make my large squares?

MTS

You mean for your 4patches?

If you CUT the strips 3.5" wide, then the 4patch blocks will FINISH at 6".

So you need to cut the larger plain squares 6.5".

Make sense?
