I have a silly question...I have my blocks out and want to make a quilt. how do I put them together? If I add a border do I add it to the side of each block or to the top and bottom? what size strips do you put between them. I have been in 2 swaps and haven't made anything yet since I am not sure of what to do. Thanks for all your help

Marcialee, its up to you goofy. Every quilt tells you (grin) how to do it. You can add a sashing between each of the blocks, kind of like framing them? then you can add a border top and bottom and sides if you like and the best part of it all is its all done right. Lay it on the table,floor whatever and see if you like it all together. Its called auditioning your fabrics? then you can try a piece in between, stand back see if you like how that looks, then try adding another fabric to the sides or top and stand back does it work? sometimes what works in our heads maybe is different from reality. Same with picking your fabrics .. squint.. does the color work? you know I am sure. I have quilts with and without sashing I have done. All of mine have borders but probably just to extend the sizing a bit..and to accent the center blocks. I am sure whatever you chose will be the right thing .. Good luck! Go to the pics here of finished quilts and see what others are chosing and if you like it. Personal kind of thing right everyone?

I wonder if we come up with a chorus line dance/song if we could get more to join? I know if I sing they might join just to shut me up. Ok, here goes... Free Fabric yes there is yes there is! Free fabric yes there is! Full mailboxs and lots of chat, we got free fabric here yes there is! I will keep singing to all the lookie loues who have not signed up. This song is for you.. we love you truuuuuly truuuuly, join the gang and have some fun.. we love you... (are they signing up yet?) DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU. Chickens..

My fabric is cut and in envelopes, waiting for my list. I'm ready to go! I'm looking forward to this swap.....Love seeing the completed tops that were made from past swaps. Some lovely blocks were made.....I am always amazed how the appearance of a block becomes so different with different fabrics. Can you tell I'm anxious to begin????

Where do you buy envelopes for the fq's? Does Staples have them? I usually only buy business size envelopes so I was wondering where everyone buys their envelopes.

buddy'smom

Yes you can get them at staples. I have mine cut but thats as far as I've gotten so far.

LovingIzabella

Well Elisabrat you bribe them with free fabric, singing and furbabies and I will offer free chocolate. What quilter can resist chocolate?? I will share with everyone from my super secret stash
As of right now I need 7 (possibly 6 waiting on a size confirm) to make one large group AND I have 3 full small groups and need 7 to make a fourth full.
I am going to post the names of all those interested here. If you do not see your name please let me know so we can add you to the list.

PS for those who wanted two large I have you in one large and two small groups to be as close as possible to what you wanted.

Sorry that should read:
As of right now I need 6 (possibly 5 waiting on a size confirm) to make one large group AND I have 3 full small groups and need 6 to make a fourth full.

And this is the correct list sorry about that!
