A little cutting -
After I figured out how many more units I need to get my 4x4 Deep Red Crumb Squares up to a 5x6 layout - which should make it a pretty good sized lap quilt -
But I didn't realize that it would require -
14 more Crumb BIG blocks with 4 little ones each - so another 56 Crumb blocks
14 more sets of 4 RED sashes - so another 56 of those
14 more GREEN centers
11 more Alternate blocks with 4 sets of little RED ones - so 44 more of those
11 more RED centers
11 more sets of 4 Crumb sashes with 3 squares each - so another 132 of those
Good grief!! -
The original 4x4 only needed 16 Crumb Squares and 9 Alternate Blocks -
It's like a whole other quilt!! -
I also needed to cut 6 more side triangles - QST -
But surprisingly enough -
I didn't need any additional corners -
Just kidding - 4 corners is still 4 corners - no matter what -
I wanted to see if you were paying attention - LOL - ;))
So - while I'm in a "cutting" mood - I might try to get a head start on the next one that I have planned - see if it looks as good "in real life" as it does in my head. Then I can get going on making more Crumb blocks - ;))
These really are like potato chips -
I can't make just one - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Yep, it's confirmed. You are addicted!
ReplyDeleteThose pieces add up quickly when you enlarge a pattern. Just keep thinking "this will look fabulous!"
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, this can be addictive. Don't ask how I know ....
