I have finished the pillowcases I wanted to make for Christmas but apparently was not finished with the idea of them. I wanted to do something else with the pattern.
DK Quilt Guild is a place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a
better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too.
Would you like to write a future DK Quilt Guild diary? We NEED writers! Your diary can be elaborate and full of photos, a simple story of your own quilting history or that of someone you love, a discussion of a current project or a technique you're learning, new adventures... You could post quilt retreat-day recipes (things like crockpot meals, so food appears without much attention from you)... We could do show and tell or open thread, also, but either way, we need diarists to host. It is EASY if you're willing to take the chance. Please join in! Please volunteer within the comments or you can send Pam from Calif a kosmail.
So, I decided to make a quilt using the flannel I used for the real pillowcases but make them single sided and small. This is what I came up with.
I made the “pillowcases” 6 ¾ in x 12 ¾ in so that I could sew two together and get a 12 ½ in sq. I have good luck keeping 12 ½ in sq’s straight and even. The blocks will alternate two up and the two sideways. I have cut enough fabric for 24 blocks (if I counted right, not a given) and then I’ll put on borders to bring it to a twin bed size. I may make it a rag quilt but i don’t know yet.
Whatchaupto?
