beccauk Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi I have seen this pattern online for using jelly rolls for making this blanket that goes into a bag and being a novice wanted to try make one for days out, wondered if anyone had it or one simular many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well the inside block is just made up of 4 squares but the outer part is like log cabin - this (although it looks complicated for the most part) you can see how the outer border bits fit together: http://mypatchwork.wordpress.com/quilt-tutorials/textured-quilt-sampler-tutorial/ If you scroll down to block number 9 it shows the pieces a little more clearly as you can see how the parts fit together. Not much help I know but it's a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Ooh nice baggies! I have a couple of books by M'Liss Rae Hawley - s"Ooops, word censored!"py quilt ones. It never stops with one book though. Hubby said how many books does a person need? Then when we went to a quilt show and he saw all the books for sale he said oh quite a lot then!

beccauk Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 My husband says that everytime I get a new baking or cook book but I must say probably most the books ive never done a recipe from but the intention is there, thankfully I dont think he knows that lol I rearrange every now and then and sneak new ones in have to be thin paper books now as struggling to squeeze them on the shelf to make a gap, I have now extented into a couple of knitting, crotchet and sewing books lol I think theres alot of us like this, maybe we could do a topic on a book libary or something dont know what postage is or if some of us are close by for driving to eachother, to do a book borrowing thing ai dont mind sharing my books , letting someone have one for what a 2 week - 1 month period, least they are getting the use while I wont be using it. Just would need reliabilty to return I love my books probably partky get them for the prettiness of pictures lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That is a good idea. My quilt books are my preciouses though - but I too have loads of cook books that I've probably done maybe one thing from in all our 30 years of marriage! Now I get some super recipes online - even Youtube! Hubby is happy with the results and no more spare room taken up. Well not by my things - that would be him and his River Cottage bibles.
