Hello everyone Hope you are enjoying the beginning of November. I found the perfect quilt for my son in a catalog. I tried to go to the website and it is already gone and they're not bring it back. It was a kit. I'm show you the description of what it said in the catalog. I'm assuming the fabric is cut into 5 inch squares.
Kit includes FREE pattern and 3½ yards of
fabric, enough to make the top and binding.
You will need an additional 3 yards for backing. |
Techniques: piecing | Finished size: 45½" x 58½" |
from the picture it looks like 7 block across. and 9 blocks down.
Since i'm still learning can some one help me to find an easier way to figure this out. I know I will be making a bigger quilt I just need to know since they give you the finished measurements how I can figure it out then.
Thanks Rosemarie
Rosemarie, can you take a picture of it and post it here so we know what you're working with? What catalog did you find it in? What's the name of the pattern?

easy piecing is the name of the game: first you
make your blocks, cut them up, spin them around,
and put them together! enjoy the fun of putting
this quilt together—there's no wrong way. it's a
great project for a novice quilter.

I Figured it out.
That pattern is a disappearing 9 patch! Easy and fun to do. I'll find a tutorial for you!

I meant I figured it out how to post the picture. Thanks
5 x 3 = 15, ÷ 2 = 7½ - 1 = 6½ inches. is this -1 to equal all the seam allowances?
You can also make it block by block. For each block you would need a 2 1/2" square, two 2 1/2" x5", and a 5" square.
Or if you want a little bigger 3" sq, two 3"x6" and a 6" sq.
Sew like this, turning the blocks as you go.
jrcgj: 5 x 3 = 15, ÷ 2 = 7½ - 1 = 6½ inches. is this -1 to equal all the seam allowances?
Correct.
correct, when you sew your three block across you lose your 1" to the seams.
Each of the 4 blocks produced will be 6 1/2" square
When I made this quilt, I started with 10 1/2" fabric squares and only used 3 colors in the same sequence in each 9 patch:
You can really see the pattern this way.
For this one, I started out with 4" fabric squares and it's totally scrappy with no rhyme or reason:
Same pattern and process, big difference with the end result. The one from CT appears to be pretty scrappy.
Thanks this really helping me.
You know you've been quilting for awhile when you look at someones sample and think "I have that fabric in my stash"
