Yep, says make 50! We do have the 50 9-patches, so that makes sense, but it seems like a lot.

That equals to just over 4000 square inches, leaving just enough square inches left for sashing and setting triangles.

This might be a silly question, but how do you all press your units and get good results? I figure press and it takes me hours to press 200+ units, while it only takes me a couple to sew them. I'm sure there is a faster way because I have seen people a few hours after a clue goes live saying "All done!" And I'm scratching my head thinking "How???" I believe it's my pressing that is slowing me down. With so much work ahead of us and a clue a day, I would appreciate any tips!

I'm definitely in the turtle brigade, I still need to finish #3 way behind there. Plus trim up my geese. I just had to try one of today's clues to see what it would look like and I can see I have have a problem with my outer points not meeting so I will go back and change that, and be more careful from now on. Everyone's photo's and idea layout's are looking so great,very interesting.[ATTACH=CONFIG]586289[/ATTACH] I do miss the color variation of scrappy, this seems so stark.

I really love a blue / yellow quilt, this looks great. I don't see stark I see peaceful, serene.

hey windblown, love your colors. I am almost 100% scrappy girl, but I think I messed up. Yours looks perfect. Not stark at all. Wait ans see, yours will shine like stars in the night sky! Jane

I played around with EQ, trying to figure out what the options are for layouts, given the size she gave at the start,and the blocks we have made. I'm guessing on point, with the rectangles as sashing, and some cornerstones and setting triangles still to be cut/assembled. 50 blocks doesn't make a good horizontal layout (5x10? Ick - too long) And with alternate blocks, I guess we could have 49 alternates for a 9x11 quilt - but for 9" blocks that is 81x99, bigger than her size.
For those not wanted on-point - my EQ playing came up with an amazing secondary pattern from the sashing blocks - so don't throw in the towel on that setting yet. |
