You are doing a beautiful job on it. And it's going so fast too. I can't wait until they ship mine! They were out when I ordered, so I have to wait. Love the job you're doing!

I made my template, I am cheap and don't want to spend the money! LOL I just cut a chunk of plastic cutting mat. I find that floor tiles make great templates. The practice blocks I used a square picture frame.

how clever of you to make your own template! You inspire me :D
|
It looks great so far. Can you share the measurements of you blocks, strips and what the sashing came out as?
Yours looks so good for the sashing and I really don't care for many sashing patterns... Thanks! Keep us posted. |
It's gorgeous! I love the colors!! :-) :-)

WOW ! Very Pretty :lol: The colors are great together ! Yes please give us more details... what size is the templates ? What size did you cut your strips? Thanks for sharing

The backing block in 10 1/2 inches, the inside batting block is 8 inches so that leaves the frame size 1 1/4 all the way around. When you sew it together you get a sashing of 1 1/4 inches. You could make it wider by making your frame template wider. I cut my strips to 2 inches so it gives me a 1 1/2 inch strip when done. I did not follow a pattern just the method. By making it 7 blocks wide and 8 long I should end up with a twin size quilt about 52 12 x60 or 8 rows would be 52 1/2 x67 1/2.
Clear as mud? |

AND think out of the box (so to speak): if you make your own template, it doesn't have to be square. it can be a rectangle. or a brick. |
