SandraC Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hmmmm, so tempting, Kristina!~ Can you tell us how big the quilt will be??? Lap, queen, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm with Sandra - I would like to know the size as this will determine what fabrics i chose. Would giving us this information ruin the mystery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-Jane Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 On her blog - she says it is 80 X 80 - only 3 fabrics. I'm gonna give it a try!!! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delld Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Wow! Only three fabrics! Sounds like fun! maybe I'll give it a try. I have Niko, age 2.5 and we are remodeling the house. Gee I should be able to work that in somewhere on the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Sounds like fun! I'll give it a go. A very good excuse to go fabric shopping......... Will you give us a "heads up" when the next step is posted on your blog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thanks, Kristina. I've printed off my instructions and ready to go when I get back from my trip. I'll be in Ohio and then Oklahoma for the next two weeks, so on my return I'll get started. I'm thinking I might find some spectacular fabrics on my trip. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Yes, approximately 80 x 80 with an outer non pieced border. I have directions for the quilt top plus one pieced border...and you will have enough focus fabric left to cut a 4-1/2" - 5" solid border to make it to the finished size! I was generous with the fabric requirements. So, you will have plenty in case of an oops! Let's hope not though. Thanks for joining!

SandraC Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 How spaced apart will each section be???? Sorry to be a bother but I'm so behind with other projects, I'm thinking that if this is spaced out a bit I may be able to manage. So will it be a weekly thing, daily, monthly???

KathG Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi Kristina Ok I im in. I need something to get me going right now. Now do I have the correct quantities of fabric in my stash, or do I need to go shopping :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi Sandra...I am going to wait till next Saturday...the 25th to post the first clue...then every Saturday thereafter will post up to 4 clues. There is a lot of strip piecing so it really isn't that bad! The first clue is the most time consuming so will give a week for it! Is everyone okay with this? I am hoping to have the clues all posted by the end of October...so you can have the top finished and ready to quilt! I know everyone's lives are busy...as is mine...so this works well for me.
