Lucy Boston Quilt Question....
I have two questions. First, has anyone here ever made a Lucy Boston Quilt, and if so can you post a picture? And second, would any of you happen to know what the yardage would be for the backing of a x-large queen size pieced quilt? Other than block patterns, I can't seem to be able to find any info. about this quilt pattern. Thank you in advance for any help you're willing to offer.

I have been working on blocks off & on for a while. As I find another fabric to try a block. It’s fun and one day will be a whole quilt. The individual blocks are terrific. As for backing for an extra large queen....???? It would depend on the size of the top — how big is extra large queen?
I recently quilted a king for a friend- it was 106” x 115” she purchased a wide backing, 118” wide by 3 1/4 yards (127”)

I thought I had a few pictures of blocks but only found this one ( in the works ) block. The others must be on my phone.
Anyway, I’m finding it fun to find just the right piece of fabric, and playing with combinations.

My friend works intermittently on her Lucy Boston Quilt and I just wish I could post pictures for her since she doesn't have a computer (probably a good thing because shopping online for fabric might prove to be too much of a temptation for her, LOL!) Anyway, I knows she's planning on finding the biggest backing available and she has a fantastic longarmer.

Here are some pictures of ones in progress. I use a template to lay my pieces out on to get an idea of the finished product. In one of the pictures there are three different color pieces that I'm auditioning to see which one I like best. I found having the template to lay them on really helps me visualize how it will be in the end. I'm a long way from a quilt however I did use Lucy Boston squares to make the end of a sewing machine cover. I have more squares and lots of potential fabric but these are the only pictures I have handy.

I have been privileged to have citruscountyquilter introduce me to this and help me. I love the way she uses color and elements of fabric in her designs. Many thanks!!
Connecting threads has an acrylic template of the honeycomb shape that you can purchase.
