Turning Twenty quilt
#13
I've only used 8 or 9 FQs for personal sized quilt. I've use the 3 colors several times as I inherited a Big Bunch of perfectly cut 5 7/8" blocks. A few dozen of 8 different prints.

I think I'm going to try it two different ways suggested - reducing the size of the block and repeating the same fabric rather than 20 separate fat quarters. I will start next week. I am soooo busy at work this coming week. I have to reserve my brain cells to focus on finishing training class I have attending. I have a big test on Friday. Three more days, complete the test successfully and class is finished - Monday, Wednesday and Friday!!! The count down has begun! I am thankful for the opportunity I have been given, but I am ready for it to be finished.

I was too cheap to buy the pattern, so I found a picture on the internet and then figured out the block and how to cut the fabric. So if the basic block is going to be enlarged or reduced to the fabric you have. I liked being able to put 4 piece of fabric on top of each other and being able to cut them at the same time. Cutting time is quick - but the arrangement time is what takes forever for me. My favorite one was the one I did for a friend out of Halloween fabric - her birthday is 10/31 - so I embroidered a carved pumpkin with a Happy Birthday message embroidered under it. Then each block was outlined with black and yellow. It was quick & fun to do.
Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of it before giving it to her.
