Math is not my strong suit. I am always appreciative when others are their to share their knowledge. This will make it so much easier for me in putting my quilt tops together.
It's also a good idea to figure out the size you like your quilts. I like mine to be about 90 x 108, give or take a little. That works well on my Queen size bed. I don't do a ton of overhang. Just a personal choice.

Crispy...My favorite is on point with double sashing. Then I have triangles that fit around and sometimes a one inch framing border and then two outer borders. Color??? depends on what Armylady sends me. I have plenty of that pink rose fabric, so if I get a lot of pinks it will be that, but pink is out of favor right now with the public. I forget who, but someone said all quilts should have some black in them. Maybe not this one.
My goal is to get a lot of UFOs done and out of the way before I get my churn dash blocks back.
And to stop spending more money.
I'll need 18 blocks for the pattern I'm thinking of. Two extra for pillows?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]585265[/ATTACH]This is the pattern I will use. This one is waiting for me to get some other stuff done and then goes on the long arm. I bought Angela Walter's new quilting rulers (4 of them) yesterday and will make another attempt to use that long arm. This one has cornerstone sashing.

I have the Tri Rec templates to help make the blocks.. Here is a picture of the quilt that inspired me to use the 54 40 Or Fight block as a companion.. http://www.maryquilts.com/new-churn-dash-stars/

Libster, Beautiful blocks. I am very partial to blue.
Battle Axe, pink is out of favor? Oh well, I think if you love pink, you should go for it. (If of course the quilt is for you.) I don't think there's a scrap of black in my quilt at all. Just lots and lots of white. I love the crisp look to it. Of course, it means I have to watch the dogs very carefully with it. Also, great setting. I like it a lot. I've never done an on point quilt. Also, the quilt pictured is beautiful. The colors are so harmonious.

I combined the instructions for Rest and Refreshing by Debbie Thompson McInnis and Better by the Dozen by Susan Teasdale Dissmore. Better by the dozen is a book that shows 12 blocks and 12 ways to put them together. Rest and Refreshing is an over the internet block of the week. I think I'll use some of my Bonnie Hunter Hersheys' chocolate for the one inch framing border. I just need something dark to catch the eye and fram the quilt on the bed. I make almost nothing but Queen size.
At the local quilt auctions, pink just doesn't sell well.
