| well it worked but not smoothly. It is from the first one I did with 5" squares (charm packs and stash). I used 5" pieces and created a border. This quilt is the one that had the toothy feathered wreath on it. |

trying to load a bmp photo of a blank color chart
Purple 10 minute quilt from 5" squares cut from stash and fat quarters
This is info for the smaller size quilts I made and obviously they can be made with sashing and more blocks for a larger size. I don't really think they look good as a larger size unless the blocks start to be enlarged too. I have done several and it starts to look too busy/messy, mixed or something for me. I have a black and white set of blocks and took photos of it laid out....I don't like it. Might try to salvage it by adding sashings.
I have a purple one with a heavy polar fleece as the back that turned out nice if I do say so myself!!
I used a bit of curved crosshatching in 3 places on it and was pleased with the effect and the overall look on the back. I also did the same with a chocolate/pink and pink polar fleece as the back. I have a mixed batik color one too. No sashing on any of my smaller ones so far. I gotta try that.
I love the baby one that Valerie made from Paris Flea Market. It also is in a current for sale as a re-release...it had been an out of print for a couple years and Moda brought it back. Valeries is post on the MQR forum.

I guess I am a lousy blogger. I don't use it much and I still have quirks with where stuff gets placed. So this is the cutting chart for using fat quarters...and more or less for using yardage. I like to possibly cut some half yards into fat quarters and make a matched set of quilts by making the 10 minute block quilt and using the other half as a Yellow Brick Road quilt. My favorite new one is the chevron/zigzag though. I think it is a great baby quilt that can have a modern look from the quilting.
Cutting chart to use 10" squares from fat quarters. Make 21.5" after adding sashing
cut as 2.5" strips.

10 minute block quilts made from 10" squares
This is info about the 10 minute block quilts I have made. I am going to put it in 2 posts to try and make the 10" blocks and 5" blocks as a separate set of info. I have photos, a cutting chart for fat quarters, and some notes. I have several of the smaller size (baby 45x60) made from 5" squares. =I have one larger size finished 60x80 made from 10" squares also cut from fat quarters. The fat quarters will only make 2 of the 10" squares each but the strips for sashing can be cut from the rest.
This is a set of 12 blocks that covers the top of a queen bed. The sashing is 2.5 before sewing. the blocks are 21.5" after sashes are added and seams.
That should be 80x60 with 4x3 blocks. Could do a sashing around the outer edge too and be a bit nicer. NOTE: I did not make cornerstones on mine as Suzanne McNeil did on her batik.

this is my large size from batik fat quarters.
Heart problems
April 7th, 2013
This is a catch up of info. I have been in the hospital 3 times for my heart. It has been a rough month. I am on strong medicines for it and seem to be doing ok. I am disgusted with the local care. That is an enourmous deep understatement. I firmly believe they almost killed me at least twice. I don't have any doubt of that. I have damage to the veins in my left arm too now from the inept ability of the half trained nurses. Since I have to leave the 4 letter words out here and what true hell I went thru, there isn't much point in venting. Suffice it to say that I am not stupid. I can READ, I am not senile, and I did look at the drug info online. It clearly is supposed to be given in a hospital setting and MONITORED for 3 to 5 days. I was given the strongest (most side effects) drug as a quickie 10 minute RUSH that damn drug into my arm and shoved out the door of the emergency room at the local hospital. It did put me in a "sudden death" situation. That is a fact showing on the stress test that was done to me. That is the most careless bull that "heart specialists" could have ever done. I had NOT had chest pain till they were thru with me. I had originally gone to the hospital for vomiting from my gall bladder but arrived there and went into AFib. I still believe that the heart issue was caused by the illness....and that they did turn it into a bigger threat to my life and do possible damage.
After the bull at Mansfield, I was taken to Columbus by my sister. She probably saved my life by doing that. The a$$holes in Manfield had left me 2 messages NOT telling me anything was wrong at all and NOT telling me to stop the medication. They had called and scared her half to death with statements indicating she needed to go get me...and that I had been given a stroke by them...and to STOP the medication....this was more than 6 hours later after they had put me in the life threatening condition....
