Here's where it pays to be in with the Author! I need the blocks to be a finished size of 10" and not 12", and QuiltSue has kindly done all the tricky re-jigging and emailed me the cutting list for the revised block size. How brilliant it that!
She suggested I make a trial block using the revised instructions just to make sure that the heat hadn't fried her brain (her words not mine!), and so this evening I grabbed some scraps and gave it a whirl. She's done one too - if you ask her nicely, she might show it to you.
Here we have it - this is a finished 10" as requested. The fabrics jar like mad, but I'm only making sure the sizing/cutting/instructions are good, so that's ok.And before anyone calls the Points Police, I am aware that the last seam putting the two block halves together is well out of kilter, but I'd exceeded my concentration limit!
This all works though, so thank you, Sue, I can get cutting with confidence!
It pays to have friends in High places, doesn't it? Sue was very kind (always is) to do the math for you!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does, Sunny! I soon realised that although resizing the block myself was *technically* possible, it would have been a heck of a slog!
DeleteWhat a great block, all sized up and ready to go. So sweet of Sue to write it for you with different dimensions. She's a classy lady!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know if I'd be a bit of a pain to Sue if I'd have asked her to resize, but in the event, she offered anyway - bravo, Sue!
DeleteSo glad I got it right for you. Now have fun making it and we'll enjoy following on with you.
ReplyDeleteTrue, you do now get to see the step by step of watching me put it together! Deja vu for you, I think!
DeleteAnd I know that it being one of yours that the instructions will be clear!
Good on Sue. I think we all appreciate her good work and now you can get on with it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Sue - I should cut all the block pieces first, but in truth, I just want to see the first one come together to make sure my fabric choices work!
