Hey, Everyone! My DD#10 picked out 3 fabrics for a quilt she has decided I must make for her. (honest to Pete, is the youngest always the bossiest? :icon_shake:)
Soooo... I need some ideas! Fence rail, some sort of star, Need something fairly quick as she is going to leave home for college soon and her brother is getting married next week so I'm seriously running out of time! :icon_mooooh:
Thanks!
You have 10 children? Way to go!
What three fabrics did she pick? I think a fence rail or Irish chain.
Tossed 9-patch
She said DD#10. Maybe that is just the DDs? I think she is Wonder Mom.;) I vote for tossed 9P or rail fence.Quote:

You just reminded me of one of my favorite tutes!Quote:

Wow, that twice as nice is pretty cool. So many blocks from the one
Fabric Cafe website has several 3 fabric patterns. Topsy Turvey is one I did a couple of years ago and it was quick and simple!

Jenny has a different POV at the end of this video that uses only three fabrics... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLxI...VFDHmDXqCIzuAw
Thanks, everyone!! I will show them to her and let you know how it comes out...
BTW, she is my 10th and youngest child. She has 3 older sisters, 6 older brothers, 4 sisters-in-love (and a fifth joining the family next week!! :D ), one brother-in-love, 5 nieces, and 4 nephews. She just graduated from high school, and is in that crazy busy stage of life where she is involved in so many activities it makes my head spin. First thing I'm gonna' do when I get back from dropping her off at college in August is take a NAP!! :icon_heh:
I promise, I am not super at anything. But I'm married to the best guy on the planet (35 years this August), and I serve a very great and merciful God.
Thanks again for all the great suggestions!
Blessings,

The Big Star quilt is definitely not, 'quick'. I vote for the tube-type quilt. Good luck
I was very pleased with the way my Rail Fence turned out. It was quick & easy. You could use only 3 fabrics with it. I used 5 with mine, b/c I wanted to alternate the pink & green blocks. JCYAttachment 80452Attachment 80453Attachment 80454
Forgot all about the BQ patterns!
Take a look: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...84.VEPl2MyI-hc
This is a beautiful easy pattern to do especially to showcase large prints.
I like this too! of course I can copy it but is there a free pattern out there? then no math :)Quote:

So I could be totally wrong but I think to make this pattern, once you have sewn the strips you will want to cut the strips in 3 1/4 inch slices, so that when you sew the slices back together (switching colors) you will end up with six inch squares. But what do I know. Newbie alert.
In any case, I agree with Hulamoon that this pattern is a winner.
oopsy, your right Claire. I'm watching a stupid movie and typing at the same time.
So exciting for a newbie to get quilting math right! Woohoo! I'll relish this brief moment of quilting math success!Quote:
