Today I spent time creating my design and ordering the blocks.<\/p>\n

I found a design I thought would be a nice one to start with in one of the quilting magazines I found, but I wanted to modify it some, so I started playing around on Excel, and came up with someone quite different from what It thought it was going to be. But that’s good, because I like this a lot better.<\/p>\n

Then Michael helped me figure out the math: how wide to cut my strips, how big the resulting blocks will be (taking 1\/4 inch seams into account) and how many blocks make what sized quilt, and then rearranging the design once again to work better with the final quilt size I wanted.<\/p>\n

It is completely out of character for me to plan this much ahead of time for ANYTHING, but I want to do it right, and figuring everything out was kinda fun actually.<\/p>\n

Since I want to work with gradients, I also organized the fabric into lights, darks, and mid-colors. You can see a hint of the pattern I came up with on the screen of my laptop. (Let me tell you, for something like this, the format painter is TOTALLY your best friend.)<\/p>\n

And that’s where we are this evening. Depending upon how things go, perhaps tomorrow I’ll start cutting strips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
