    Default Need some info...

    I just down loaded Alex Andersons pattern "The Grape Escape" it does not give any info about how large the blocks are, or the borders, or the over all size of the quilt. The pattern originally appeared in the Oct. 2010 issue of "Quilt for Life". Can any of you lovely ladies provide me with this info? Thanks in advance for your help. Jackie

    Thank you ladies, that will help. I can figure out the block size from the pattern and go from there.

    I would guess 18" blocks with a 7" border, but if you lay out the applique pieces you will get a better idea of how big they are.

    the download is just the applique patterns. the overall size is somewhat flexible based on the amount of free space you want on your quilt. measure the appliqes and that will give you the minimum size of the quilt as pictured.
