Enjoy, jennellh


How beautiful. Would be great for our batik fanatics. Polly

Saved. Thanks. The example looks like a mosaic stained glass.

I love it. I might use my batiks to make it, but I'm also thinking about the Southwest fabrics that I have. That would work. I could probably combine the batiks with the Southwest fabrics. This will probably have to be added to my list of quilts to make in my next lifetime, lol. I don't think it will be done in this lifetime.

I really love it, however I need pictures of the steps. I have to read it and see it or I can't follow it. Grrrrrr

Thanyou for that. Itwill be great to use my handyes!

i read the pattern twice and still none the wiser. read thru your version below twice and still none the wiser. : / how the leading/strip size adding up to final block size lost me. also the 1" leading making up the seam allowance lost me. must try again after lunch when some food has fed my brain long enough to work. totally lost in cyberspace as per usual, oh well. j.

Hope lunch was good? Try this way: 3x4"squares laid side by side =3D

12" l> i read the pattern twice and still none the wiser.

4" + 4" + 4" = 12 - 1 = 11 ok so far. sorry only way i can function today. not lunch time yet and seems breakfast has not yet reached the brain today.

(huh? nevermind, i'll figure it out later).

4" + 1" + 4" + 1" + 4" = 14"

- 2" of seams there? = 12" so far i think i'm ok there, eh.

it is 'starting' to make sense, wont hold my breath tho.

Does this help? jennellh

i think so tho will need to mull that over for a week or two probably. brain is stressed today. sorry. j.

that makes one of us what(sic) thinks me got it, jenn. then what to make with this newfangled block. hmmmmmmm. have commandeered dh's old suit pants, pinstriped etc. he'll never wear them again so why not. tossed them in the washer first, ran them thru twice to be safe. remove the zippers for use elsewhere, then sew up that place. reposition buttons where they'd be more use, add new buttonholes as well. thot i could cut off the legs, sew up the bottom, line it and make some inside/outside pockets, bag closure tab(with buttons etc) and straps from the legs. must find the pix i found of straps used as regular and backpack config for that. i wonder if ds' girlfriend would use one to take to work. she works in a big accounting firm and mostly wears dark suit type outfits, tho with skirts. could work, hmmmmm. oh well. sumpin to do and it is recycling, always a good thing to do. still more to use up somehow tho. if nothing else could make grocery bags from all that fabric. good and sturdy for sure and eliminates the need for more plastic bags, ewwwwww. what if the world stopped useing plastic bags and plastic bottles altogether, hmmmmm. bet that would make a huge difference in the amount of plastic that ends up in some horrible places, doing horrible things to living creatures of our planet. sorry, just think'n outloud again. shrug, j.
