RSC24 Sampler

 

Hen & Chicks will be a rainbow sampler quilt based on 40 blocks published this year.  I will have 4 new patterns each of the first 10 months.  That will allow you to have the last 2 months to catch up, put the blocks together and get it quilted before the end of 2024.   The blocks will be offered in multiple sizes and so you can decide which to make and how you want to put it together.  I used the handy quilt sizes download at Just Get it Done Quilts to help you come up with some options.  See below for some choices for or use the chart to make your own plan.  SuzyQuilts has a nice quilt sizing guide if you want to get something close to a standard size.  

  • 40 Three inch blocks framed to 4.5 will give you a mini quilt 31.5 by 27
  • 42 Six inch blocks can lead to a 42 by 36 inch baby quilt
  • 40 6 inch blocks together with 40 framed 3 inch blocks will give you a lap size 60 by 48 inch quilt (this is my plan) 
  • 40 Nine inch blocks will allow you to make a 72 by 45 inch quilt - this seems a bit long and skinny to me
  • 42 Nine inch blocks will give you a nice lab sized 45 by 63 inch quilt
  • Three 12 inch blocks each month will give you enough for a 72 by 60 inch quilt
  • 40 blocks in the 12 inch size will allow you to make a 96 by 60 inch quilt

I never know what to do so sampler is a nice idea. Btw should the pieces on shoofly be 2 and 7/8 not 3 3/8?

Margaret, that's what I thought too. But I like the size it turned out.
