Carrie's Quilt


I thought I'd share my process for Carrie's quilt.  I spent some time on Excel at the computer before I started cutting.  I decided that I'd work with 4" squares, so the finished squares will be 3.5 inches and I shaded in the colors; the tan will be the white background prints.  The column on the right indicates how many HSTs, I'll need altogether.  Then I determined how many of each color combo I needed. 30+36+30=96. Next, I figured out how many squares of each color were needed.  114+102+102=318.  96+318=414 total spaces; so my math is correct.

I'm using this method for making my HSTs, I'll have some extras to fool around with.

I'm also planning to cut a few extra of each color, just in case.

May your bobbins always be full,
