Re: how would i do this?
It looks like elongated 4 patches - use rectangles instead of squares and then sashed. I would probably do it with a jelly roll (2 1/2 inch strips). Sew 2 together, cut the length of rectangle that looks good to you and make them into the 4 patch, then sash with a honey bun (1 1/2 in strips).
Looks like they might have offset the sashing to make the columns off by a bit - on one column put the sashing on the bottom and right of the 4 patch, on the next colum put the sashing on the top and right of the 4 patch.
Cute quilt!

Re: how would i do this?
Humm If you break it down it's four patches of retangles. The white sashing on the top and botton look like 1 1/2 ''. Then they are sewn to a wider sashing. If you wanted to use a layer cake the retangle would be larger unless you want to cut them down.
I let someone else help.

Lorie - good eye - I missed that the vertical sashing was wider than the horizontal sashing!

Re: how would i do this?
Wow I didn't expect responses so quickly! Thanks for the help, I was thinking it was pretty much how you explained it ilive2craft2. I was thinking it was the rectangles sewn into a blocks, then the each block sashed at the bottom, each sashed block was then sewn to another block to make long vertical strips which would be sashed on the sides and then sewn to each other. From what I could tell on the picture there aren't any seams in the long vertical sashing. I didn't really want such long stitching though lol so I think I like this idea better.
I want to make my Mum a lap quilt in bright ocean prints. She loves the beach.
Thanks!
Sally
PS Hopefully my explanation makes sense ... not entirely sure it does :P

Re: how would i do this?
Thanks everyone! I think I have a pretty good idea of where to start now. A new quilt store opened up in town so the hubby is going to take me to check it out before we do the groceries so I might pick up some practice fabric.
Thanks
Sally
