I need a Larry! Is he for rent?
I LOVE what you did with this quilt. You really used the fabric to its full advantage. Great job.

A lovely quilt! Glad you have a smart relative like that; my son is my Go-To Guy.

I failed algebra in college twice. I could not get my AA because of it. I have never figured out why I need algebra in the first place to work with children ages 12 an under.

I knew there was a formula for that; I just could not remember what it was. :eek: I've been drawing everything out on graph paper. My fail-safe is to cut the block 2" larger than I think I need after drawing it out, cut on the diagonal(s), fold on the centers of pieces to be matched, sew and trim. So far, it has worked, but the math is better to do before cutting, IMHO.
So thanks, Pyth!

Actually, you can buy this pattern here http://www.creativequiltkits.com/wal...h-gallery.html . I could not afford the pattern so tried to work it out myself. I doubt it is the same dementions as the pattern But I had an idea the size I wanted to end up with so I tried to 'wing it'. Kudos to Larry for saving my quilt!
