This morning was the FABs Saturday Sew-In. This Saturday’s project was both designed and organized by Cher with a little help from LindaJ. (Linda worked out the drafting of the pattern in EQ.) The pattern was affectionately named, CGF. I’ll leave you guessing what that stands for! LOL<\/p>\n

The pattern was drafted first with a feature fabric square of 12 1\/2″ (cut size). The alternate block was actually a rectangle that was made up of one 8 1\/2″ square and two 4 1\/2″ squares.<\/p>\n

Last night LindaJ came up with an amended version–8 1\/2″ square, one rectangle 5 1\/2″ x 6″ and two squares cut 3″ square.<\/p>\n

I decided to make my version of the pattern, “half size”. (That is half the size of the original pattern.) I had a bin of pre-cut 6 1\/2″ squares already cut and another bin of 2 1\/2″ squares. I had a few leftover partial 4 1\/2″ strips that I cut into 4 1\/2″ squares and I cut a few of my 5 1\/2″ squares down to 4 1\/2″ squares.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> This was 6 of the first blocks arranged on the floor to see how this patten might look scrappy.
\"\"<\/a> All the squares are now finished but not yet sewn together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My quilt center finished at 30 1\/2″ x 42 1\/2″. Because I think my quilt is a little wild, I am going to add a border or two to rein in the colour a bit and tame things down. I have not yet added the border as I was debating on the colour. However, this bright green has won the most votes from the FABs so far.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
