I know a guy who stands 6ft plus and is no wider than a minute, that would
make a perfect lap quilt for him. :-)
He would seem to be the exception tho.
Diana, who would need two alphabets side by side...

Most of my customers add 4 corner blocks of some kind, which gives you a
total of 30 blocks, for a 5 x 6 setting.

Putting on my math major hat he Since 26 only factors to 2 x 13, the
only
way to make them "come out even" without adding or subtracting blocks is
two
rows of thirteen, or thirteen rows of two. Not the most satisfying setting
for many people.

When doing alphabet blocks, I can't make the set of 26 come out even.
No
matter how hard I try, I end up with one left or one blank space.

I even tried figuring out how to make the blocks with alternating
blocks,
no
luck.

I've already got the ABC blocks, so I can't combine two at the end.
They're
redwork 8-inch blocks that I bought on ebay. Doing alternating blocks
that
are red and white would be ideal, I think, but I can't get them to come
out
even.

I'm curious how anyone else has done these, if they have. If not, how
would
you make them come out even?
