The block is 5 in square then 2in strip on 2 sides. So very simple but I enjoyed arranging the blocks but still got 2 with same colour next to each other. Why don't you have a go for your friend.

bigmommasally Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 They're lovely, very pretty colours. I'm in awe of everyone who makes quilts, they're such big projects to take on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm going to have a go at making something very simple (fairly large blocks of navy & white checks/stripes) with a fleece backing for DS's house master's almost one year old son...are you keeping up?!.....as a leaving pressie. The last day we will see them is Friday, therefore I have to get a wriggle on & it can't be too elaborate! I'm going to make it a bit bigger than a cot quilt so he can use it as he gets bigger, on a diddy bed, in the car, in front of the TV..... Wish me luck !!

Plum Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Good luck. Where are they going? have I missed something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Plum, the last day of term is Friday so everything has to be done by then, & DS only said last night that he'd like to give the little son a pressie last night on the way back to boarding school...my own fault really I shouldn't have told him what I was making for a friend's son !!! The little lad's dad is taking up a post at a more sport orientated school in North London (I think!) DS is upset about his departure but the new chap seems very nice & the boys like him, so I hope the transition is a smooth one ! ....this is not getting that blanket done either ...... I must avoid the forum ......I must avoid the forum...I must avoid the forum.....!!!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
