I've settled on this pattern as it will showcase the birds on the original quilt for judging
The pattern also gives instructions for twin & queen for the challenge the minimum is 24 x 24 & the maximum is 60 x 72 ,the twin goes beyond the maximum requirements ,I think I will call & see how strict that is lol but there is room to add additional borders,Im thinking maybe a 3" border of the bird print in the original top & bottom , according to the size rules I can go as far as 6
But I'm not gonna dare cut into it untill I make a sample & get the measurements & block arrangements ,seam allowances to the tee 😄but I wont spend the time quilting the sample as I have to the end of August to turn it in & the last day falls on a Sunday do I've already lost a day 🤣 there is 14" to play with on the sides to stay within the rules of 60x72
Ok back to the sample😄 
🤔 border decisions, white? pull one or two of these? If these work out I'll start cutting by the weekend for June will be over before I know it & I really need to have my main fabrics cut & ready to go
it is always hard to tell from pictures...but if it just those three blues, white might be a bit harsh - if the bird fabric is added, then white might work - maybe a blue would be good.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan ,you're right pictures don't do justice they are teals,the bird fabric will not be added it is the main fabric to the one I'll make for the quilt show that will be judged in August
