July's BOM - Churn Dash +

[wrenkins]

Oh! I've been planning one of those because I reckon the fabric can't get away from you into the softness of an ironing board.
Does that make the points meet up perfectly too????  Just thought I'd ask. 

[Acorn]

Ooh - Mr Acorn thinks he has a piece of heavy duty plywood.   :thinking: 

[Pearl]

So does Mr Pearl but I didn't make him go down to the garage to fetch it yet. 

[wrenkins]

Well Mr Wrenkins is me so I'll pick some up tomorrow when I'm out. The piece in my garage is too small and also boggin a bit grubby.

[Acorn]

I have mine!  (He volunteered to go and look, honest!)  It was a bit cobwebby, but we gave it a vigorous brushing and I think it will be OK.  It's a bit larger than necessary - maybe 18in square, but I can cope with that, no need to cut it down.

[Sandra]

Oh, no...everyone's going to have steamrollered blocks except me! 
I need some heavy duty ply  :thinking: I have a useful big brother who might be able to help...

Ladies, Ladies ... Do you not read the destructions

Now take to a hard ironing surface and PRESS
using a HOT iron.

Kenora, Your quilt is going to be Glorious!

[Acorn]

Haha - in the cold light of day my plywood is actually 23inches square!  No matter, I will just need more than a fat quarter to cover it!  It will still fit behind a bookcase when not in use.

Umm...    Of course we do @Iminei.  Yes indeedy.  Always.

[Iminei]

You can buy these from the big boys or make them yourself.

I have a small one made by a local lady who sells them ridick cheap and a professional one from Omnigrip which is just glorious and has a cutting mat too ... It all folds up together to contain your half made blocks from the workshop you've just attended (If ever again!)

Yep, absolutely.  Every word.

[Flobear]

@Acorn @Pearl  what did she say 

[Acorn]

@Flobear Apparently we're supposed to read the instructions... who knew?   :thinking:

[Lowena]

@Acorn @Pearl @Flobear .....errrm.....what instructions??

[Bjay]

I have been moaning about my ironing board for ages - now i know why. (not used for clothes
 Bet Mrbeej doesn't have any as his train set uses thinner stuff, I can but ask!

A FQ came today - well several - but the one is a really yukky yellow, that will do fine for pressing on.
Now I have everything almost - FQ, wadding, staple gun, somewhere to stiore it but no ......

[wrenkins]

I'm so busy reading the instructions that I haven't had time to make my block.
