Topic: Need another yard of fabric (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month historic journey recreating the historic Rajah Quilt, sewn by women convicts on board the ship Rajah traveling from England on April 1841 to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land-now known as Tasmania. The original quilt measured at approximately 128" x 128", but Lessa recreated it in quarter scale with fabrics from her stash. She used many different scraps, imagining that's what might have happened when the original quilt was being made. She followed the colors of the original quilt loosely, and tea dyed fabrics that didn't look old enough. You can obtain the same look with reproduction fabrics, or make a more contemporary-looking version like the one created for TQS.

Included in month 2 (under the header cutting) are the instructions for cutting larger pieces (borders) for month 4 and month 7. There are also instructions for cutting the binding in month 2.

Glacerda -- contact the TQS shop at tqscustomerservice@gmail.com -- Rose will get back in touch with you if she can help. Glacerda -- you might need more than a yard because cross-cutting generally won't give you 44". Suggest you order 1 1/4 or 1 1/3 yds to get the length you need so you won't have to piece the border. Alternately you could piece the border strip. If you'd like help with matching the pattern, I can try to help by giving instructions.
