I'm sure this group will most likely do another Piecing the Past QAL together. When was her next one supposed to start?

I would definitely be interested if there is another quilt that appeals to me. You have all been wonderful, fun and so supportive. I hope that most would return if there is another pattern.

I certainly would !! I have just one block to do -- but behind this week as we are looking after two of our grand children ! Just made cakes this afternoon.
I love following Block of the Weeks - having made a Dear Jane, Sylvia's Bridal Sampler and Loyal Union Sampler following one !
Certainly happy to carry on with another one.

I agree with Anna. This has been a fun thread with lots of support. I have really enjoyed making the quilt blocks and seeing others. If anyone starts another bow please post a link here so we all can continue on together. Thanks

You've made some beautiful blocks, Anna.

Wish I could help you enlarge the quilt but I guess what I'd do is just lay the blocks out in a way that was pleasing to me, probably enlarging the layout in the pattern. Looking forward to seeing your big, big quilt!

For some reason I think I might need 61 blocks but then I might be totally off too. I do not mind some extra blocks so I will still make three of each of the remaining blocks I still have to go.

The diagonal measurement of a 10" block is 14 1/8 inches. Would depend on what size the sashing is. I'd start by using 120" and deducting 12" for borders; so now you have 108" to fill. 7 blocks x 7 blocks would be 49 blocks. Rounding up 14 1/8 to 14.25 would be 7x14.25=99.75 then add the sashing measurements. I'm not sure but I think you will probably only need 49 blocks. Janet

OMG Just Jan ,....... How do you know all of that. My head is spinning after all that. LOL. I would have to do what Bonnie suggested and hope for the best. ( That's what borders are for right??? )

Thanks, LOL. I just look up the diagonal measurement of the block then work backwards... Start with the desired finished size, deduct for borders, then fill in the blanks with blocks. Problem with this one is I don't know what size sashing she will be using. But yes, then you adjust it with changing the size of the borders or adding more borders if you like.

(I'd be lost without the internet and calculator!)

OK. I'll figure it for you tomorrow. I've been up since 6 this morning and now its 10:15 PM. I'm too tired to do it now without making mistakes. I'm going to bed and will do the math in the morning.

Assuming 2" sashing between the blocks, a 2" stop border, then a 6" large final border, and a 1" binding you will end up with a quilt 119.5" square. Guess what? You were right with the 61 blocks.
