This sounds like so much fun! Go ahead and sign me up. I went to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque last year, and it was so beautiful. It would be nice to have a little quilt that kind of commemorates it.
There is a 6" paperpieced pattern here that doesn't look too hard: http://www.reocities.com/pcpiecers/hot6pattern.html |
When you say 12 blocks all alike - does that mean the same color scheme as well as pattern used? Because that sounds terribly boring.
Edited to add: not that the final quilt would be boring, just that sewing 12 exactly the same blocks would be. |

Yes, I realized it was 12" finished blocks.
Maybe I'm just being dense here, but when it says 12 blocks "All alike" does that mean that the color scheme must be alike on each one as well as the block pattern? I.E. do they have to be all red balloons with a blue stripe, or can some be blue with yellow, green and purple, etc. |

Somebody correct me quickly if I'm wrong. Just to clarify, the 12" is the finished block (after adding to other blocks), which means 12-1/2" blocks unfinished. (Just in case you didn't already know that, but you probably did :-) ) |
Design should be the same, may use different colors for the balloons, as long as the pattern is the same. Oh, I just repeated myself.....

I did one block last night when all of a sudden it hit me. Are these blocks to be machine appliqued or hand appliqued?
