I sent this link to these to my daughter. She's on her way back to college from a weekend camping trip--I'm afraid she's going to have a suggestion--a very good suggestion--when she sees them. But at least it's not like laying out a 100 block log cabin!!
Remind me--once the horse tops are done--to try a two fabric pattern of SQUARES! Better yet, BIG RECTANGLES!

I lay out the eight larger triangles first--then pair them up and sew and iron. Then I lay those pairs out and sew them and iron. I iron all these seams going the same direction. Then I sew the two halves together and iron that seam open. Then I add the outer smaller four triangles and iron out. I asked my quilter if the centers gave her any trouble on Kayak-and she said "not a bit!" I like how they look--they have a kind of swirl in the middle (well, when everything matches up nicely).
I'd love to see what you're doing! What colors?? Good luck! :-D
Boston--Rachel liked the last one best!! Whew!! :lol:
Farmer Girl (love that name!)--I did something similar before (barn quilt) and you are so right--it was a pain! But--I think it's best for this, so I shall pursue and endure. :lol:

It was exciting to make something from an EQ6 design--but I wish I wasn't SO PICKY!
Now I just have to sew it together.
