I love your block. Can you share the pattern information?
Quilt baby |
I did post everything on this message. It just white broadcloth, I used an 11 1/2 inch square template. My strips are 1".
here is the post: This is how I found this pattern: http://happythings.typepad.com/happy...tion_piec.html The only thing I did was make all my strips 1", and I picked the colors and deceided to make the cornors big, so they would stand out more. And when you pic 4 squares together , in the middle it makes a pattern. Sorry forgot to answers this question. I used my 11 1/2" square template for the foundation piece. And as far as the size it will be , Im justing adding another square until I get it the size I want. So it will be a queen size with probably a sash around and the binding or maybe just the binding , Ill have to wait and see how all the squares turn out. You could do the squares in any size, what ever you prefer.Oh and one more thing. When I cut the foundation peice, I then took my ruler an placed it in the left hand corner and went straight to the opposte corner (with a pencil),and my first piece I placed on the line and just kept going. When I got to the end of one side I turned it around and did the other side, I laid all strips out before I sewed so I could adjust the colors if need be and thats how I got the lines so straight. Sorry this is so lengthy I NEVER had anyone ask me how to do a pattern. New to explaining. |
This is very cool and the colors are wow!
