I’ve decided to make my older daughter’s Red and Black quilt larger than the original pattern. (note: link updated 30-8-2011) My version will require a total of 30 blocks, arranged 5 blocks across by 6 blocks down. I’m not going to put borders on it, only binding, so the finished size should be 80″ x 96″, which I hope will be a nice size for a double bed. I’m also going to make 4 coordinating pillowcases to match it, using my favourite pillowcase pattern from the QOV project.
So far, I have finished 15 blocks. The other block pieces are assembled and ready to be sewn together, and I have cut all the pieces for the pillowcases. I have 14 days to finish Pumpkin’s gift before Christmas, and I am feeling optimistic that I might get it done in time (knock on wood). 😉
Here are some sample layouts. I haven’t decided yet how I will put all the blocks together, but I couldn’t resist playing around with them this afternoon.
Happy Sewing!
Gorgeous!!
Thank you! 🙂
