Topic: Half-Size Measurements (8/37) - 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!

I used a square ruler with a diagonal at the corner. We need to cut the flying geese to 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" from edge to edge.

With the "nose" of the geese going away from you, align the diagonal line of the ruler on the geese, with the 1-1/4" mark at the center tip.

Cut on the right.
Then, turn the geese around, align the diagonal line of the ruler with the geese, and measure 2-1/2". The corner of the ruler will be on the seam.

Cut the right and the top part.
Turn the geese sideways (nose to the right). Measure 1-1/2".

Cut the right part. You have a flying geese 1-1/2 x 2-1/2.

Sew the 2-1/2 x 1-3/4 rectangle to the flying geese, and press to the rectangle.

Align the "rear end" of the geese with the 2-1/2 line.

Cut.
You have a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 block...

You will need 14 each at the top and bottom, and 19 each side.

I'm almost done....

FINAL BORDER
Once all the blocks are assembled, there is one simple 1/2" finished "plain border" all around. At this point, the quilt measures 38-1/2" x 28-1/2" from raw edge to raw edge.
You will need 66 "flying geese" blocks and 4 "four-patch" for the corners. Each measures 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".
Here is how I did each "flying geese" block. It's oversized, and then cut to correct measurement for accuracy.
I used strips at 1-3/4"in each colors.
1 rectangle 2-1/2 x 1-3/4 (for the "outside part" (not shown)
1 rectangle 2-7/8 x 1-3/4 for the "geese"
2 squares 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 for the "sky"
Draw a diagonal line non each squares.

place a square at the end of the 2-7/8 rectangle. Sew on the line.

Cut the seam allowance to 1/4".

Press seam allowance towardsthe "sky" and place the 2nd square at the other end. Sew on the line.

Cut the seam allowanceto 1/4"

Press towards the "sky" (outside).

Next post - how to cut.

BarbCA OFFLINE Posts: 1134 Thank you received: 380	Thanks Andree! I'd originally planned a Christmas theme but it turned into something more whimsical. The top/bottom borders took a couple days hopefully the applique blocks will be faster. Month 7's applique has a tiny pieced friendship star that looks a little challenging in half size. Barb

AndreeBergeron OFFLINE Posts: 722 Thank you received: 100	Lovely! Yes, I have a LOT of appliqué to do... I only have the top border done (with the heart). I'm not too sure about a fox or a squirrel with the colors I have. So, in the meantime, I'm working on the last border.... Andrée

AndreeBergeron OFFLINE Posts: 722 Thank you received: 100	Month 11- SAWTOOTH block Well, I do not have the cutting measurements... I have used EQ7, and paper-pieced the block. If anyone needs the Template, let me know - send me an email. I'm presently working on the final border. I think my measurements are accurate, but I will complete it before I post anything on this, just to be sure. Andrée
