Rest and Refreshing BOW Civil War Sampler Quilt
#851
I would definitely be interested if there is another quilt that appeals to me. You have all been wonderful, fun and so supportive. I hope that most would return if there is another pattern.

I certainly would !! I have just one block to do -- but behind this week as we are looking after two of our grand children ! Just made cakes this afternoon.
I love following Block of the Weeks - having made a Dear Jane, Sylvia's Bridal Sampler and Loyal Union Sampler following one !
Certainly happy to carry on with another one.

I agree with Anna. This has been a fun thread with lots of support. I have really enjoyed making the quilt blocks and seeing others. If anyone starts another bow please post a link here so we all can continue on together. Thanks

You've made some beautiful blocks, Anna. Wish I could help you enlarge the quilt but I guess what I'd do is just lay the blocks out in a way that was pleasing to me, probably enlarging the layout in the pattern. Looking forward to seeing your big, big quilt!

Right now I have 59 blocks from the Rest and Refreshing patterns. Does anyone know how many I would need, for a Cal King 115 inches or 120 inches quilt, if I add the sashing and put them on point? I will probably just add a plain border 6 inches or so.
For some reason I think I might need 61 blocks but then I might be totally off too. I do not mind some extra blocks so I will still make three of each of the remaining blocks I still have to go.

Thanks, LOL. I just look up the diagonal measurement of the block then work backwards... Start with the desired finished size, deduct for borders, then fill in the blanks with blocks. Problem with this one is I don't know what size sashing she will be using. But yes, then you adjust it with changing the size of the borders or adding more borders if you like. (I'd be lost without the internet and calculator!)

Since last week I got two different types of blocks done. I made 4 from one and 3 from the other.
I have 3 more types to go from the Rest and Refreshing pattern. Hopefully I get to post some pictures soon.
