Hi Marcia - I will need to make 37 blocks for a queen, then adding borders to make it hang over the edge of the bed far enough. I like BIG quilts. :) So far I have only 7 done, but I've been working on other things to get them finished so I can get back to this one.

Hi Sewlady - I purchased 6 meters of fabric but was originally going to do the pinwheel kaliedescope. That is what the book called for. Then I saw the OBW Stack & Whack and decided I liked it better. Problem was it only gave directions for a double. The instructor said 6 meters would be lots as long as I don't make any mistakes. That includes the borders. So I should be okay.

That's really pretty. How the heck do you gals line the fabric up to get exact looking triangles??? Don't answer that--my head is too full to understand anyway. I'll just enjoy yours!! :D

I got to work on my quilt again today. Got more blocks done and added the black to fit them together. It is starting to shape up.

More blocks, playing with layout

Love, Love, Love your blocks...they are like the Kaleidescope class we had at our monthly quilting group last Wed. Good job. Isn't this block fun and so inspiring as no block is the same.

This was the last day of class for this quilt. I got all my central hexagons finished (32) and started on the outer hexagons (14). Then all I have to do is the partial piecing and the borders. It will take a while to finish but is looking very good.

Most of the central hexagons done

Two of the outer hexagons attached. This will float the central ones before adding the borders.

Very nice! I thought it was just ME when I had difficulty matching up the pieces from "the other side" of the bolt.

This will hopefully be a queen size quilt. I started with a double size pattern 79 x 102 and will be adding bigger borders to make it about 88 x 112 or there abouts. :)
