Repeating the Westering Women Blocks

Westering Women: Chimney Rock, 72" x 72"


Rod's Chimney Rock

VesuviusMama added more seams----no Y seams.

Block 8 wasn't easy to make but if you made 25....

And alternated light and dark shading like...

Block 8 Chimney Rock by Becky Brown

and Block 8 By Terry

You'd have a lovely quilt.

You need 25 12-inch blocks. See the block pattern here:

Add a 6" floral border. I used the same Old Cambridge Pike print Terry used in the center.

An EQ7 sketch
12" blocks
5x5 grid
6" finished border = 72" x 72"

Cut the 2 side borders 6-1/2" x 60-1/2"
The top and bottom 6-1/2" x 72-1/2"

#8320 Lydian from Old Cambridge Pike
If you had 2-1/2 yards and cut the border first
you'd have lots left for fussy cutting.
There would be 8 prints in the alternating blocks
so a yard of 7 each would give you extra for fussy cutting.

Hill & Hollow, 72"

Or try 25 of Block #6 with 2 different shadings.

I Photoshopped RCCheryls

And TrueCompOO's 
into one very nice-looking quilt.

See the pattern for Hill & Hollow here:

I think I'm confused, which is nothing new! I have 10 blocks and I have the introduction and layout instructions. Are there two more blocks or are two repeated? Laura V. ninepatch@hotmail.com

Sorry to confuse you. There are 12 blocks in all but you don't have November or December's yet. I just liked those blocks so Photoshopped some possibilities. Don't worry about doing any repeat blocks.
