Topic: Half-Size Measurements (25/37) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month journey into the land of childhood memory with a charming quilt designed especially for TQS by internationally-known Australian designer Lynette Anderson. Lynette combines simple, unpretentious folk art style appliqué motifs with patchwork blocks for a quilt that will be lots of fun to make. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. We will once again be offering monthly companion teaching videos as well. It all makes for a year of fun and learning!

GATE BLOCK

Finally, I could work on this. I had to draw in EQ7 full size to figure it out. It seems that the cutting instructions are not accurate for 2 of the TAUPE strips (3-1/2 X 12-1/2 should be 3 x 12-1/2; 1-1/2 x 10 should be 1-1/2 x 10-1/2), but the measurements for full size on the DRAWING on page 4 are correct.

I did not sew mine yet, as I will probably paper-piece it. But these are the measurements that EQ7 provides for half-size:

Height X Width as seen on the block.
IVORY:
3 strips 3/4" x 4-1/2" (middle of the gate)
2 strips 2-1/2" x 3/4" (left and right side of the gate)
2 strips 3/4" x 5" (top and bottom of gate)
2 strips 3-3/4" x 1" (posts)

TAUPE
1 strip 1-3/4" x 6-1/2" (top of the block)
1 strip 1" x 5-1/2" (top of the gate, between the post)
2 strips 3-1/4" x 3/4" (between the post and the gate)
1 strip 3/4" x 5" (below the gate)
2 strips 7/8" x 4-1/2 (gate "background" top and bottom)
2 strips 3/4" x 4-1/2 " (gate background in the middle)

I have the EQ7 drawing for paper-piecing half-size, if anyone is interested, just email me.

twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	I removed the middle one before joining the edges of the others but then I'm removing the remaining ones after ironing immediately before appliqueing onto the background. I've just put the heart and vine stem on just starting adding the hexagon flowers. Fun seeing it come together. I was lucky my background fabric is just 27 1/2" phew.

BarbCA OFFLINE Posts: 1134 Thank you received: 380	I'm working the house block windows now. So far enjoying, I've never done hexagons. I like the pin idea. Did you remove the papers or leave in? Barb

twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	I used paper with a hole in the middle for a pin and sewed the old fashion way to tack them. Worked for me, I found the glue hard to get off and the edges difficult to sew through using glue. I was only using a normal glue stick I'm sure it would be better with the proper stuff.

twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	Thank you thank you thank you. It's the little details that make the difference like punching a hole for a pin and joining the middle ones first, or using stabiliser or plastic rather than card or paper. I'll give each way a go now, perhaps when I've done 42 I'll love them. I groaned when I saw we've got some more in April
