This evening I developing the final drawing of the new quilt pattern for my son on EQ7, just to see if the basic idea was going to work. So far so good!
In the this image, since I don't have the Air Force fabric scanned into the computer, I just substituted it with patriotic fabric. I also added two borders; one a 1-1/2" and the outer 5". So the final size will be approximately 48" x 78" a nice size for a twin bed.There will be 4 T-shirts decals worked into this quilt, they are the big blue areas cut to 12" blocks with a 1 1/2" border around them. One of the t-shirts has an extra emblem on the back, I will cut it down 7 1/2" x 15" rectangle block.  |
| Block A |
 |
| Block B |
Blocks A and B are 7 1/2" square when finish. I will need around 26 blocks of A, and I will need 16 blocks of B.
I just need to figure out the yardage requirements. The fabric I have is made up of fat quarters so this will probably be a nice one for just fat quarters. I will need to order the borders, backing and binding shortly so it will be here by the time i finish the top. Really want to get this done for him. I need to think of a name for this quilt here shortly. Hope to have most of the quilt started this weekend, since it will be a long one. However, not much sewing tomorrow, spending the day with my husband in Annapolis. Going shopping for new running shoe, then to the movies, and finally dinner. I'm hoping to stop in the local Quilt Shop there also, since I have not been there yet.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Sorry about missing a blog yesterday. I ended up spending most of my evening video chatting with my son who is at Sheppard AFB, TX, it was worth missing a blog post. He is doing really well with the adjustment to military life, Proud of him!
Before I started talking with him, I finished the design of his quilt pattern. The blocks are simple, I will be adding four t-shirt into the mist of the blocks also. The main part of the quilt will measure 45" x 75" for his dorm room bed. I have not figured out what the sizes of the borders will be just yet.  |
| Rough Draft of Pattern |
I have worked two different smaller blocks that will measure 7-1/2" square finished. The blocks will bring out the designs of the Air Force fabric I will be using for the quilt. The T-Shirt will be cutting down to 12 -1/2" blocks unfinished, with borders around them. I'm still working on the cutting and yardage requirements, but hope to have that done by the weekend. Once the quilt top is finished I will write up a tutorial.
This is going to be a fun, quick quilt top to do for him.
