The quilt is 45 x 49 inches. All the blocks finish at 3 inches. Here is my quilt layout:
Fabric Requirements:
It may seem odd, but if I have limited quantity of a fabric, I figure my needs in inches. I have only 35" of my dark blue paisley. EQ said I needed 1-1/4 yd for this fabric. So, I worked my cutting out in inches, a daunting task. Hopefully no errors, it came out needing 32".
I am concentrating on the center design for now. We'll deal with the borders and binding later.
dark blue paisley ............... 32 "
light blue ........................... 16 "
light green ......................... 26 "
Cut the squares and triangles first. You can cut from the leftovers to use in the 9-patches.
Cut ( 36 ) squares @ 3-1/2 "
Cut ( 18 ) squares @ 3-1/2 "
Cut ( 2 ) strips @ 6 "; from these strips cut :
these are slightly oversize, but you will trim them later, plus you will get more cutting options from the leftover
Cut ( 8 ) squares @ 6 "
Cross cut the 8 squares into 32 side triangles; you will be using 30 triangles
Cut ( 4 ) squares @ 3-1/2 "; 2 of these are for the quilt center, 2 are for the corner triangles
Cross cut 2 of the above squares into ( 4 ) hst for corners
Make 30 @ 3-1/2 "
Make 6 @ 3-1/2 "
Make 14 @ 3-1/2"
Make 22 @ 3-1/2"
If I double the size of each piece cut--would it be 56 x 63 in the center of the quilt?
ReplyDeleteI goofed--Would it not be 48 x 54?
