Thank you all for your suggestions attic windows. I've printed them all
and the web sites. I'm making this quilt for my son and dil for Christmas 2004. Hopefully it will be finished by then. Barbara C. "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u... Ta Louise! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html "Louise" wrote in message news3mMb.28396$8H.66451@attbi_s03... The easiest way I've seen (which avoids a Y seam) is to cut two rectangles -- one of your dark fabric and one of your light fabric -- the same length as your block (if it's 12-1/2 inches unfinished, then your rectangles would be 12-1/2 inches in length) and whatever width you want. For the corner, make a square from half-square triangles -- again, one triangle would be from your dark fabric and one would be from your light fabric. Sew the dark rectangle to the side of your quilt block. Sew the square and the other rectangle together, matching the light triangle in the square to the light rectangle. Then sew the new piece to the bottom of the quilt block, matching the dark triangle in the square to the dark rectangle. As I look at this, it makes total sense to me, but it may be even more confusing. This Web site may make it a little clearer: http://www.quiltaholics.com/bom/attwin.htm Good luck! -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com wrote in message ... I've been quilting for about a year and want to do my 1st king size quilt. It's a little ambitious for me, but I love the attic windows block. I've seen different methods for doing this block, but they look a little complicated to me. Is there an easy way to piece these? Thnx for your help. Barbara C. |
