GramMer- I don't have any advise about the quilt. Just wanted to say "how wonderful for your grandson to be cancer free." What a blessing.

There's also lot of moda snow days fabric available on eBay .

Be very careful with Etsy...I am not a fan. Ordered fabric for my son's traveling quilt and ended up getting scammed...paid and didn't get the fabric. I was able to file complaints with Etsy and Paypal and got my money back and the 2 sellers banned from Etsy, but I really wanted the fabric!!!

60+18+18 = 96" wide and 80+18+6 = 104" long. To be all blocks that would be 96/8 = 12 blocks wide and 13 blocks long. Subtracting two blocks for borders: 10 blocks wide and 11 blocks long I think I will make it 10 blocks wide and 11 blocks long as you suggest. Today I was finally able to find the fabric I need (not for backing though), even though I had to order from two different places. Thanks so much to everyone who helped me with this. The orders will be going to a son's house and I can get the cloth when we go back for visas at the end of April. |

OK, I have not given up yet. The obvious conclusion is to plan to quilt in the ditch or on both sides of the seam for a firm hold. Now with that tiny seam on each side of the Moda-cut, I still find the blocks are going to be less than 8.5" needed. They are are OK on the side I cut, but barely 8.25"on the Moda-cut. Now what? Should I plan a different pattern before I ruin everything? I have seen a baby quilt with the 4 patches framed (http://quilting.about.com/od/babyqui...ttern.htm?nl=1). OR, I could add a "barely sashing" and trim that to fit the pinwheels if necessary. I am really getting depressed about this project. Please offer suggestions if you don't mind. Thanks for reading! I hope my explanation is clear. |
I live in Portland, Oregon and found Snow Days as a very tempting fabric. It's still available online, in yardage as well as jelly rolls. I would do a fabric search at www.fabshophop.com, go on e-bay, or simply type in Moda Snow days yardage into your browser. I noticed that you put in a nonblue color in at least one pinwheel; you could use that fabric for one of your borders. Good luck.
