More unsewing -

 
 
And I finished the "trimmings" - 
 
I was asked what I did with the strips of batting - 
 
For now I just stuff them in a plastic bag - 
 
Vicki Welsh has a tutorial for pet beds -
That you can download - HERE
 
But I haven't made one yet - ;))
 
 
Then I spent some time pondering - 
 
And wondering how I got the MATH wrong on these two tops - 
 
Karma Churn Dash -
13" blocks - set 4 x 5 - so it's actually 52" x 65" - not 50" x 60" - 
I guess I thought they were 10" blocks set 5 x 6 - 
 
The blocks are 13" - 
But my workspace is limited to 10" max - 
 
So I'm going to have to quilt this in pieces - 
 
I need to come up with something for the rows with HST and Bars -
And something for the rows with Bars and the large Squares - 

 
Then there's the Batik Bento Boxes - Glowing Embers
 
12" blocks - set 4 x 5 - so it's actually 48" x 60" - not 60" x 72" - 
I guess I thought it was set 5 x 6 until I looked at the photo again -  

Here again - the blocks are 12" - 
And I'm limited to 10" - 
 
So I think I'll quilt one 6" row in each pass - 


 
On this one it might be fun to do something different -
 
Every chance I get - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

  1. It will be interesting to see what decisions you make for quilting these two tops.

  2. Wow, if you get the math wrong, there is no hope for me. I don't usually quilt large motifs, so it is easier for me to break down for quilting. It is always a balance how much can be quilted in each pass unlike quilting on a domestic machine.

  3. But your usually so good at math LOL. You really are though. I'm sure you will find some clever way of getting it done.
