| SMART Quilters We decided on a Disappearing or Scrappy Nine Patch Quilt. Harriet Crabtree sent me a sample and instructions. (The instructions are below.) We decided on 5 inch squares, the middle one being a beige color. The other 8 squares are to be of flowered, small & medium print, in medium to pastel colors, no bright or dark colors. I hope when it's quilted it will look like an old family quilt from long ago. If everyone sends 2 or 3 blocks we should be able to make a queen size. You can use the same prints, just move them around so when you cut it in half, they will come together differently. But I think it will help draw the quilt together if the prints are repeated. If there are any questions, email Karen Dietrich at kdiet4948@aol.com. I would like these by April 1st at my Florida address Karen Dietrich 39625 Quartz Dr Zephyrhills, FL 33540 So I can have it finished before we head home because our region is in charge of the 2012 National, and I will be very busy when I get home to Illinois. Hope it turns out as good as last year,. Thanks, Karen |
