Shorted on fabric--need ideas
You folks are always so helpful and ingenious. I was shorted on fabric, either by the pattern or by the store, but I figured I would just make a lap quilt for a raffle quilt. Everyone in my little church group thought a twin-size quilt would go over much better. I don't have nearly enough fabrics left to make any more blocks, and I'm about 16 inches shorter than a twin. Any ideas on extending the length on one or both ends without detracting from the main pattern? The only fabrics I have yardage of is the black and the cream. Ideas? Bless you in advance!

Do you have enough scraps of the colors to do a piano key stripe for each end? You could alternate with either cream or black to stretch out the colors. Do a narrow cream strip, a narrow black (both in the same width as the sashing), then the piano keys including the cream and then another narrow black strip.
Alternate color - cream - another color - cream etc for the piano keys.

Don't know about your church, but I've done 2 for mine (one auction, one raffle) and unfortunately neither raised much $$. A recent king size batik that a friend donated to an auction only raised about $450--although her quilt the year before raised about $1000
