I'm sorry Penny, but I really wanted to do what you suggested, but I've had it. I think I'll take perle cotton and turkey track in four points where the "panes" would have met. So the graduation quilt will be delivered almost one year late. :lol: |

Thank You Carolyn And no, there are no borders, only the brown sashing. I used the daisy print for a narrow binding. When it's done, I hope I can get the picture up. I'm still a computer cluck. |
Please dont laugh but what is a HST stitch still trying to learn some of the abbr. So you just put the side and the bottom on each square then sew them all toghther?
Thanks carolyn |
How big is the brown strips? OOps sorry I went back and read it again and I see that they are 2in is that right 2 x 9.5?

Thanks carolyn 12 1/2 inches. That's the vertical strips that are between each block. Then I measured horizontal width of the whole row of blocks and cut a strip to that measurement to place between each row. When if was all done, I put a border of the same brown around the whole thing. All brown strips were cut 2 inches. You can make your own measurement for the blocks and make the sashing strips (the brown) match those measurements. It's your quilt -- it can be any size you want it to be. |
Thank you so much for all your help Now all I have to figure out is how much material to buy.
