Quilt in a Day Forums

June is the month of many a wedding here in states and to honor all those new brides, we are doing Double Wedding ring blocks (well partial blocks) The instructions are on the site in the theater and in the Egg Money quilt book. Teresa has templates she will send you if you need them.

The rules are:

1930's for the arch in pinks, blues, yellow, purple, green and orange OR
light to medium Rose prints in rose, greens, pinks, yellows, lilac

What you do is make ONLY THE ARCHES AND CUT TRIANGLES and then the winner can place the colored archs where he/she wants. This means you will make the block up to the point of where it is time to fuse them onto the background So what you would actually send would be (if you are sending four blocks) is 16 arches, and 16 triangle corners which MATCH YOUR ARCHES We will let the winners pick their own backgrounds SO DO NOT SEND BACKGROUND FABRIC. It would be nice if you could separate each SET OF ARCHES AND MATCHING TRIANGLES (IE enough for one block) into a baggie and then put the four baggies into a larger bag.



I understand some of you may need to purchase fabric for this one (I will) but what an outstanding quilt it will be.
PLEASE SIGN UP INDICATING WEATHER YOU WILL BE DOING 30'S OR ROSES (you can do both if you so desire)

Don't forget to send $1 to help with postage for me to send the blocks on to the winner's.

Time is running away girls, I am going to start mine this am. Andrew goes back to school today so longer time home in the AM. For standard mail, the deadline for mailing, esp if you are on the other side of the Mississippi would likely be this weekend.

Good luck to all of you! Any cheers for the hand of the picker would be welcome.

Valerie, I wont be able to do this one ( sorry. After my glasses I just can't buy any fabric right now and I don't have any 30's repro in my stash. I'll keep checking in to see if this stays the same about the block and fabric though and watch you all )
Tina

Val, I think I'll bow out of this one, too. Can't wait to see all of the pictures of the blocks.

i will follow the crowd, you know me!! lol...happy either way...

hmmmmmmm....sounds interesting.....

I am definitely in and I love the way you have it setup - Ingeneous!

If you are bowing out because of fabric - I will be more than willing to swap. I haven't looked through my colors to see if I have them all but I do know I have some that I can share. My way of paying it forward.

Let me know.

We can talk about the fabric part as I do understand the $$ involved in that. I have some suggestions PVT messaged me so I can throw those out too. Will update in the AM.

Valerie

I'd love to give it a try!!! But I still haven't found my Egg Money book! DARN DARN DARN!!! I watched the video and think I can figure out how to do it. I'm just afraid I'll get addicted to those blocks too!

Will definately need the templates!

Maryq

Ooh I'll do this, I've just made the egg money quilt and this was one of the blocks I loved and I have 30's leftovers so I have everything to hand

I am in for 2/4 blocks of the 30's but if I have time I might try a 2 blocks of the Roses also.

I sent a test run of the templates via email to Valerie and she said it came out great.
So....
If anyone is in need of the templates please PM me your email address and I will send them to you.
I have marked what the measurements are on each one for you to double make sure they are correct. ENJOY!!!

Not sure if i am reading this right - Sorry for the blonde moment
You want 1 Arc and triangle in 1 baggie (16 baggies = 4 blocks)
or
do you want EACH SET (4 arcs = 1 block) with there Triangles in 1 baggie (1 block = 1 baggie)???
