Nice fabrics, Joe'sMom... I have or had most all of those fabrics.

Joe'smom, Me too, most of my fabrics are small pieces. I like to sew scrappy quilts, so I usually use bits and pieces of this and that. To find chunks of fabric from the start is a challenge for me! I loved that plaid when I had it that you chose. I think I had some of that large print fabric too.
I've measured my choices and a couple of them aren't big enough, but I thought I might just see if I can alter the instructions and go with what I've got. For example, my big print fabric is not enough-- but since the instructions indicate Fabric A is the outside border, I don't see why, if that's the case, that I could not make it smaller than 6 1/2". In that way, I can still keep that choice of fabric. Since the pattern is a medallion, it will be easy to add another border to bring the size up larger again if I want. SBG, No mailing something to participate, one quick day of sewing, end result is not too big or not too small, it will be easy and fun... what's not to like? :-) Thanks for coming SusieQOH, vadalia, and Marich52. Post your fabric pictures for us! :-) |
Having printed out and studied the fabric requirements, they don't look quite so daunting.
I have done the NYD mystery the last three years and have enjoyed it so I will do some snooping through my stash and see what I can come up with and where I need to purchase to fill in. Watson |

Any thoughts on why we'd be drawing lines on some squares but not others?

I started reading the cutting directions (clue 1?) and it said for fabric A to cut FOUR 6½” by LENGTH of Fabric Strips. Length of fabric? The requirements show 1.5 yards are needed for fabric A, so we are to cut 4 strips that are 6.5" by 54"? Can that be right?

umm....I have a box of thimbleberries from years ago....I am doing Bonnie's mystery too....but this is also intriguing. I have printed out the cutting instructions.
