Always lots of shoulders here for you Laquita. Sorry to hear that you will be out of action. Perhaps we should form an old crocks club on here as so many have injuries or health problems. :thumbup: :XD:

Just had to whine.. I hate to miss being a part of the SS Swaps as I had so much fun this year swapping with you gals, but I'll just have to sit and read and see what you all are getting in the mail.

I will be happy for you all!!! :)

Thanks for letting me 'cry' on your shoulders! LOL

Lori - I know you said 12" but does that mean 12 1/2 or 12"?
The way you make a quilt as you go block is to make a sandwich. The block should be 12" square, the batting should extend just a tiny bit beyond the square and the backing should be 13" square - or one inch larger than the square itself. When it is put together the backing is sewn at the edge of the square first one way, then the other to join the squares. Then the backing that is now towards the front is turned to create edges, or in our case, frames for the squares. Here's a video showing how to do it if you're using at Batting Buddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCcfg...eature=related

Just read Lori's post. If she wants it 12 1/2" that's good. Just be sure that your backing is an inch bigger all around.

Forgot to say GOOD MORNING to everyone.It;s going to be a beautiful day

Lori Peercy 10-05-2011 04:44 AM
This was your idea I thought you said 12 1/2 is that wrong? It doesn't matter to me I have never done this process before but looks like it is not hard. So whatever size you think Krystyna!

Well, I just checked the atlas... I am due East but looks to be with a little bit of a northern twist...awwww shucks!

TiltedEars 10-05-2011 04:54 AM
From the tutorial, I thought it sounded like the backing needed to be 1 inch larger on EACH side, making the total size of the backing 2" larger than the square. Is that right?

I guess you could always just whack off the extra. I think it would be easiest for the blocks to be 12" and then extend the batting a TINY bit beyond and have the backing be an extra inch all around, so I guess my math was off - backing wouldn't be 13" but 14" -- is that right? Need more coffee! Off to look for florals and humming bird embroidery!

Yes, that's right. And ... DUH ... since the backing is going to be a frame of sorts for each block, maybe muslin isn't the best idea!

Marty is going to want to get better ASAP just to get out from under this crazy thing, LOL

I'm going to get it done today so can we all agree on the same size? 12 1/2 top part of block and 13 1/2 backing side? Nope that isn't right so 12 and 14 is the right answer - will hold off til this afternoon before starting it....I think the same color for the backing would be nice because it will all show on the front....like greens? What do you all think??

candi 10-05-2011 05:26 AM
Krystana,
Most blocks are 12.5" unfisnihed and finish at 12". So if I am understanding correctly, we are using a 12.5" block pattern and then sandwich it with a a backing that is 14.5" inches and quilt it. Right?

Why not? Leaves are green! (sometimes)

candi 10-05-2011 05:34 AM
Patty, yes, these are enough hints to exclude me since you mentioned coffee.:lol:

Wendy, hearing east from WY in a southernly direction still leaves many options. But since you are saying both of your packages are going to the same state, I am going to guess it is a state with many swappers. Texas and FL swappers!! watch out!

candi 10-05-2011 05:37 AM
Ok, international package was posted this morning!PO says 6-10 business day :thumbup: Here is one more hint for international swappers, you like to read and garden :mrgreen:

I interpreted the size as a 12" square, quilted block on a 14" backing (1" extended backing on all sides), with a green backing, signed on the back and mailed to Lori to be sewn together.

Any size will work, as long as we all make the same size block.

Yahoo! We have a unified size & backing theme! I think it's all very clear now. It will be really fun to see how this turns out.

I am assuming the same thing. After reading all posts and watching the tutorial, that is what I think Krystyna is saying, please verify so we all get it correct.

TOOMANYUFO'S 10-05-2011 06:55 AM
We should set a date as to when the blocks need to be completed and mailed to Lori. I am a procrastinator, so a deadline helps.

Anyone know of any quilt shops in Myrtle Beach ? I'm on vacation and would love to find something for my Secret Pal. ; )

What about signing the back. If someone uses a dk green a pigma pen won't show up. Should we all make a small label (the same size) and attach in the same place on the back of each square. How are we going to do this? All use a lighter green or make a label?

Boy are you tough! I am going to be out of town to a guild workshop and won't be home until about 10:00 tonight. Some people are like drill sargeants. I think you could extend it to at least Friday. I want to embroider also. Give us time to make good looking blocks. Your the boss, I'll do what you say.

lawsonmugs 10-05-2011 07:14 AM
I feel like there is enough rules to this already as it is a quick gift.Some differences I feel will be nice and just add to the quilt. Not make it look so uniform like a store bought item.The simpler the better.just like me.LOL Mary
