gradyk OFFLINE Posts: 23 Thank you received: 32	I still have a few more blocks to make, but I cannot make up my mind about setting. This looks very blah to me. I am getting to the point of abandoning it. Attachments: IMG_4189.jpg (67KB)

jtutton OFFLINE Posts: 35 Thank you received: 153	Knew I was going to need more Brassica. Scored most of the colors and a couple that weren’t in the original packet. I will continue to lay out my quilt while I wait for my fabric to arrive. It wasn’t cheap, but it will let me do what I want to do.

bhalbard OFFLINE Posts: 142 Thank you received: 135	Djane: I love your setting. I have several "raw" 9 inch blocks and was going to scatter them in the quilt, but when I saw yours if I thought: I am so stealing that idea!! My husband loves it. I am making a quilt for a king size water bed so it will be 108X108. I'll be working on blocks for a while yet!

I think I will add another polkadot border and then a six inch border. I like how it is coming together. This has been a wonderful learning experience. All the layouts I am seeing here on the forum are amazing. It is so cool how we start out with the same blocks and all the quilts end up so different.

nkettner OFFLINE Posts: 7 Thank you received: 61	Very nice! I thought of laying my quilt out like this, but it took me in a different direction. It is nice to see how it would have looked. I hope your husband’s back is feeling better soon.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	djane, Debbie--I LOVE YOUR QUILT! I think it is my favorite of all I've seen. The star in the center with 4 blocks--brilliant! The quilt has symmetry, is well-balanced, uses the large florals so effectively. If I was the judge--you win mu Judge's Choice Award!

Ghoney, don’t fret and please keep sewing. If I’m not mistaken, Alex said in the last video (I think is was) that she has been able to ease in up to 1/2” by having the larger piece next to the feed dogs. If you squared up to 6”, then you have 1/2” to make up when sewing them to their neighbor blocks. I would just space those 5 around in the quilt top, ease them in, and dare anyone to find them!

Needlecat and Ghoney, A half inch would be a large amount of easing on such a small block. It will make your quilt top not lay flat. I know you can quilt densely and suck
up a little extra fabric but the overall look of the quilt will suffer. I would not try to easy more than a 1/4 inch max. I agree with pines that you would be better to make all
the blocks that size, and have a smaller quilt. You can make more blocks to make it bigger. If you put a quarter inch finished sashing around the 5 smaller blocks in one of the solid colors
you could get it back to the correct size and call it a design element. These are just my thoughts on the subject. Don't give up, just correct course and keep on stitching.
