Eleven block quilt setting?

I've got 11 blocks that match and I don't know a good setting for
them. Is there a setting for 11 blocks?

On point in a 4 by 2 pattern would allow 11 full blocks to be placed.

4 + 3 + 4 = 11. That would give you a fine arrangement if you have a very
wide and very short bed. Polly

Or like lots of borders. Or need a wall hanging or table topper. G

the only arrangement I can think of is diagnonally set, 1,3,3,3,1, which
would be 2 diagnonals wide and 4 diagnonals long.

If you can, find a copy of Smashing Sets by Margaret Miller. It has
fantastic ideas for different settings.

top row, 4 blocks, set straight,
middle row, 3 blocks, on points,
sashing and/or filler blocks between blocks in either row that work and add
up to the right numbers.
havent got time now to work the numbers for ya tho.
see if there is some elements in the big blocks taht can be used as fillers
either straight or on point.
adding borders as needed here there anywhere.
back to sorting for council once every two yrs inorganic, take all your
rubbish, pick up.
well they take away whats left after the scavengers sort it out.
ttfn,
jeanne

good numbers there, Polly.
if the middle row of 3 blocks were on point, with sashing and small filler
blocks between
and then...
sashing between the top/bottom rows set straight and add more smaller filler
blocks there.
are there 2 elements from the big blocks you could use as filler blocks
perhaps.
S = sashing
B# = big blocks
B# OP = middle row big blocks on point
SFB = small filler blocks
MFB = medium filler blocks
all numbers you could work out on EQ or on graph paper so they all fit.

row 1
S - B#1 - S - MFB - S - B#2 - S - MFB - S - B#3 - S - MFB - S - B#4 - S
1 - 12 - 1 - 4 - 1 - 12 - 1 - 4 - 1 - 12 - 1 - 4 -
1 - 12 - 1 = 68 inches (i hope)

row of sashing and filler blocks here???
or

row 2
S - B#5 OP - S - SFB - S - B#6 OP - S - SFB - S - B#7 OP - S
3 - 17 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 17 - 1 - 3 - 1 -
17 - 3 = 67

row of sashing and filler blocks here???
or

row 3 --same as row 1

obviously play'n with sashing and filler block sizes will even it all out
better.
i think i got it sorta straight as to what i was think'n would work, but
dont quote me, eh.

ok, i'm tired now and more stuff to sort thru here for the inorganic once
every two yrs council clear out of junk to put out on the curbside for
scavengers and then the recyclers come round and take the rest away. DS and
his GF moved out last week. our rental house tenant moved out end of March
so that is getting fixed up for sale. its continual job for DH who is doing
all the painting of windows inside and out, its a brick and tile roof house
so tho not much its got a lot of small paned windows that take a long time
to clean, sand, wipe down, paint, scrap off splatters.
we had garden clean out that filled a 9 cubic metre skip over easter
weekend. still more to come down/out but its going a bit each week into the
garbage bin pick up.
not reading much here, scanning a bit here and there.
this one intriged me tho.
just spotted that incredibly gooooooorgeous LIME Green quilt. woweeeeeeeeee.
doncha just love it.
i keep tell'n y'all that LIME is the bestest but not everyone agrees....yet.
thanks for the heads up on that one.
started typing this whole thing ages ago then got stuck into more sorting of
junk then came back, hence the two msgs bout the same thing but this one
longer and full of more details.
just my initial two cents worth. )
ok, back to it again.
ttfn again,
jeanne

Debra,

I had just that situation when I set the blocks for my college sorority
centennial quilt. We have 11 founders, so there are 11 center blocks. You
can see the solution in the "Group Quilts" folder of my Webshots album,
http://community.webshots.com/user/nbhilyard
It's the very first quilt in the folder.

If you turn a block on point the width is 1.4 (plus a tiny
bit) of the original block. So a 10" wide block set
straight will become a 14" wide block on point.

Based on Jeanne's plan the top & bottom rows would have 40"
(4 X 10") and the middle row would have 42" (3 X 14") of
block-width, so it would probably be easier to make up the
blocks on point and then add sashing to the top and bottom
rows to make them a matching total length. In this case the
sashing would be 2/3" between each block. If you include a
sashing strip on the outside edge of the blocks you would
have five strips so the width of the strip would be 2/5".
Does that make any sense at all? lol

The overall size varies with the size of the blocks of
course, but the proportions remain the same

(eg. 4 X 12" = 48" and 3 X (12X1.4) = 50.4"
so you need a total of 2.4" of sashing,
or

4 X 16" = 64" and 3 X (16X1.4) = 67.2"
so you need 3.2" of sashing,

and so on)

To save dealing with all those odd measures I would probably
make a border for the four horizontal blocks and trim them
to fit the finished length of the centre row of on-point
blocks.
