Topic: Month 5 (2/2) - 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.

I haven't sewn month 5 on yet but after month 4 mine measured 30.5 (as in the directions).
There must be typo for month 5 stating that it should again/still be 30.5 when done adding the last month 5 border. I calculate mine will be 34.5"-I'm using foundation piecing method.

the math for month 5- if you sew 15- 2.5 squares together you will get a 30.5" strip. When you sew the corner squares (2.5 each) to that you should end up with 34.5"
