Scrappy quilt as you go question.....
Comments (23)Hi Jackie, Have not had time to work on quilting this week, however, I did make a 19" crazy quilt block. Need to make another one and then experiment with joining. The 19" block looks great, it used larger size scraps. Probably need to make smaller blocks in order to use up smaller scraps. Live and learn!! Have a question regarding the quilt pic you posted. The block with a star in the center: Did you sew 2 blocks then 2 rectangles on sides and then cut it to 5 sides? If so, that will work great for me since I have so many small blocks to use. This would also reduce length of other strips needed, use more shorter scraps. Have fun making more crazy quilts. I have a scrappy quilt (sew as you go)in progress using 7" blocks with 5" batting. Using 2" strips diagnoal across the block. Each block ends up being framed with the backing fabric. A quilt shop owner offered to show me how to do it (they had a night class for it). Some places are great to share info to those doing charity work. Thanks for brainstorming with me!! Krissie...See MoreScrappy25 Kimmieb Hood info for you per your questions
Comments (2)Scappy 25 the dimensions. Whole piece is 31.5 wide. It's 7.25 at the longest part of curve, 5" in middle, and 4.5" in the middle from the bottom of the fake doors. They glued and nailed the piece on after the fact. It did take them anytime. They winged it made 2 samples one was too shallow of a curve. The molding on the tray ceiling appears to be door frame trim. The previous owners did that when they added this wing on. My brother jn law noticed that when he did some work for us in another room and thought it was unusual. It looks cool though and gives the tray ceilings more depth. I'd never seen it before either. The workers followed the install diagrams that came with the Broan vent hood. You can get them online too. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions....See MoreScrappy Sunday
Comments (10)Lois, It's so important when managing scraps that you do it in a way that makes sense to you and I think that's what you have done. Good job! I don't know if you have seen 'all' of the free quilt patterns Bonnie has available so will post the link: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html Another site I like that uses scraps is this one: https://weddingdressblue.wordpress.com/tutorials/ My eyes actually accept the pictures of the quilts at the Wedding Dress Blue site's better (and you might recognize a few I've made) than most of Bonnie's, but her's can be changed, color-wise (and I've done that), in order to see the actual pattern easier. Enjoy your scrappiness. :-)...See MoreSome very cool scrappies
Comments (6)The site is secure (it has the https in front of the url). The reason that it requires an address is so that robots do not take the server down by continuously downloading. You really do not have to put a valid address in there. I have a special address that I put in things like that. LOL it does not exist that I know of. So make up an address and download what you want....See More
