Confusion Quilt

Did anyone see the Confusion Quilt on Simply Quilts by Debbie Bowles. Think I would like to try making that quilt. I got the idea of how she put it together and the sizes of the blocks but I didn't get how much material of the 7 different colors is needed. Does anyone know? I'm not even sure what size quilt she was giving the amounts for. Anita


I watched the episode but don't recall her giving that info.

I thought maybe the pattern would be on

but I could not find it there.

I bought that pattern and ended up giving it away. The instructions weren't hard to follow, but the end result was not worth the effort, IMO. I bet you could get similar results by doing a Bright Hopes (

It is a single pattern, I purchased it late last summer when I saw it on Simply Quilts. It was the fist pattern I purchased that was not in a magazine or other quilting book. I love it... Once I get settled in her a bit more I should be able to locate it and look up the basic fabric requirements. Nice quilt to make and dazzling to use. juliasb

Yeah, sorry about that - it was the closest I could find with minimal searching! I meant just the one section - a square surrounded by rectangles. The Bright Hopes block I am familiar with uses partial seaming to complete, but you could get the same effect from doing it like Log Cabin or Cobblestones.

cut the outer logs wide, to give you enough room to tilt a square ruleron it for cutting.
