Twice as Nice

[rustyquilter]

Hi,
I am new to this website and it looks like there are alot of uilters that are willing to help out. I have been quilting for about 15 years. I learned to do the hand quilting but now I have found that I like the machine quilting as well.

I have seen some of the video that are posted on "you tube" that I have been trying out. The one that is puzzeling me is the Twice as Nice one. I am having trouble figuring out the measurements of the stripes that are used in this block.I hope someone would be able to help me out ... Thank you

Welcome and happy that you joined us.

I have the answer to your question - but at the moment - it is buried in my packing - we just moved to a new home and I haven't yet unpacked - but don't worry - I know that someone here will have your answer.

I have made this block before and it is very easy - I did it in El's teacher's training class - my brain wants to say that the strips are her famous 2 1/2 inch strips - but I am not sure -

Join us often!

Wish I was of more help

Twice As Nice is made from 2 1/2 " strips. Easy and effective when made with a Jelly Roll, but can be made with scrappy or planned fabrics.

A Jelly Roll comes with 40 strips all in the same 'line', and they are precut 2 1/2" by the width of the fabric. If you want to cut your own, just cut 40 strips 2 1/2" wide by the width of the fabric. Actually, I think that pattern - for all 3 quilts - just takes 39 strips.

Hope this helps. Write again if you need more info. We're so glad to have you join our forum.

Thank you all for the information I have been trying to figure this out all day and I was sure I would not be able to sleep, because I would still be doing the math. So a great big thanks to you both.
