Beautiful quilt.

I saw that tutorial and was thinking of trying it. I loved the civil war material in red she did. Yours is beautiful as well.

[QUOTE=bearisgray;6784285]When starting with 10 inch squares - what size do the blocks finish at?[/QUOTE
my blocks ended about 1/8 inch under 12 inches. They probably all should have come out to 12 inches but they were a little off. I ended up trimming mine to 11 and 3/4 being careful that the hourglass triangle in each corner stayed in the right spot for sewing the blocks together. When I sewed them together, the bias really helped to line up the colour changes and the hourglass corner triangles.

very pretty

Very Nice!!! I just love the tutorials that Jenny does

I love it.

Th[QUOTE=Tartan;6784338]Thanks. I don't know if Jenny mentioned "finish size" or not in her tutorial.

Beautiful job. I like that pattern.

It looks great.

[QUOTE=Tartan;6782744][COLOR=#0000cd][B]These are the blocks I did from Jenny's original 10 inch starting size. My lap top measures 34 X 46 1/2 inches and I will probably add a 6 inch dark blue border(need to purchase). I know a lot of people were lamenting the bias edges but they really helped me line up the little hourglass corner triangles.

Yours looks great! I have one started and the blocks are on my design wall. I'm using a fat quarter pack and didn't want a lot of waste, so I cut my squares at 8.5"....giving me a finished 9" block. I love it so far!! Easy and fun!

This is real nice. Pretty blocks.

Nicely done

You sure have been busy Tartan.....beautiful job. Love the blues.

I'm working on this quilt right now, really love how the squares come out! Love your colors!

I like it! I'm trying the las test tutorial from M*QC as soon as I can sew again! Broken ankle still healing, but fabric ready to sew as soon as I can use the foot pedal. Really like what you did!

gorgeous, any jenny pattern will do

Looks great....

Great job.

Very nice! I'd like to do this pattern some day.

I think you did a great job, as your blocks look awesome with all your points. I haven't tried this method yet, but I intend to very soon

I tried this too - did only 3 blocks as I used the same fabric for all three (left overs). Mentioned it on the Stashbusters board -- someone there suggested starting with 9 1/2" blocks, because when you cut into 9 pieces they will all be 3" square. Hadn't tried this yet, but might make the whole process quicker. Jenny started all her cuts from the middle out to the edges.

Will be using this as a runner on a small book case. It fits it perfectly.

Did starch my fabric prior to any cuts -- and used a dry iron when pressing my seams. This is a real winner of a pattern -- there are several choices of what you want the block to look like after cutting into the 9 pieces.

Really like your choice of dark and light -- gives an additional balanced dimension to the pattern.

Interesting. I have seen numerous post about this quilt. Wish you had a photo of the block before it was cut.

Love it! Been wanting to try this design

Oh, you did a lovely job!

Great job!

I really like this, I might give it a try.

I was one of the lucky ones at her class in early May when this 'block' was discovered. So fun to see it hit the 'net and everyone (well most everyone) liking it. I too, am thankful for the bias edges because I can fudge just a little if I need to. Will be fun to see how everyone's turn out. :-)

Thanks for the info and picture. I worry about the bias edges but you make a good point. Beautiful quilt.

love your blocks...really have to make this one....it's on my to do list...thanks for sharing...

Love your quilt!

very pretty!
