Assuming 2" sashing between the blocks, a 2" stop border, then a 6" large final border, and a 1" binding you will end up with a quilt 119.5" square. Guess what? You were right with the 61 blocks.

Wow and a picture too! I already saved it and also printed it out.Do you have a computer program that helps you with this? Thank you so much. This means I am very close.
I look forward to seeing your final quilt. Glad I could help out some. |

I thought about EQ later. I don't have that program. Would consider buying it if I were more computer literate and sure I could use it! I just have to figure them by hand so you sure saved me a lot of figuring this morning! How many blocks for a lap quilt 60 x 60 with 2" sashing and maybe a 4" border? Would you recommend me buying EQ or not, since I have nobody here to help me figure it out? Thanks. Janet
OOPS! I put two of the same blocks on the quilt, but you get the gist. I thought since this is civil war and the quilters would be using what they had that they might would use different colors for the larger outside borders. EQ has a steep learning curve for a lot of people. Rhonda's tutorials helped me out a bunch, and then participating in the DoYouEQ ClubEQ competition each month makes me learn the program. I just wasn't getting it using the Manual, which is available online. Plus, I just have fun trying to draw out what the blocks are as in this fun BOW and put them in a quilt myself. I don't always succeed. The manual may scare you so much that you never consider the program. There are other books that go into a different type detail, much easier to me, on how to draw blocks and quilts. Also, I am a very poor colorist. EQ helps me set up the colors in a quilt so that I don't hate the finished product. |
Jan the best math I've seen done is your freezer holding fq's math. lol. I laugh every time I read it.
|
I forgot to say Jane your block is so pretty. Done very nicely.
|
Beautiful block, Jane Quilter!
I've wondered about EQ too... but hearing it has a steep learning curve, I'll pass! I'm doing just fine with my graph paper, LOL. |
thanks, cant wait to assemble the quilt.
