DoryJM Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Kristina...what was the name of the block you used in your challenge quilt? I love that block!! Is that one of the ones from Quilters Casche?? I can't wait to get our fabric back...I LOVED the one I sent and can only imagine how great all the rest of them will be!

witha'K'quilting Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 The block I did in my fuschia/black was a simple twist and turn. Is this the one you are referring to? It is easy to do. I cut a 4" square, bordered it with 3" wide strips. Similar to the bright hopes block. then I set a square ruler (8 1/2" I think)catawampus over the block, and trimmed. I put one more set of 3" strips around it and you can either set a square ruler (10 1/2") to twist the same direction...or back the other way. Works pretty slick!

sewingjunky Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was going to have to wait until the 2nd because I had to work and wasn't going to be able to sort them all out. But last night my two kids and DH spent almost 2 hours while watching american idol, and sorted them. They went to the post office tonight and are on their way to their homes!!! Thanks for playing it turned out great! Brendalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
