Yes I think it is, as you cut the charm pack  to make strips ....

Two 2 1/2" squares
One 5 x 1" strip
Two 1 1/2" squares
Add four 2 1/2" squares of your background fabric and you're ready to sew...

And the September BOM is (and very easy) with the addition of a  small amount of background fabric.

?????????????????????

It is finished and back on my chair and my combobulation is at ease once more .....



I ended up with much more quilting than before, as you would expect four years of quilting on, and some very weird shapes coming out from underneath the needle in the borders ....



I really have no idea what these are meant to be, but they were pretty uniform in size, simple to quilt and filled a lot of negative space! Any ideas what they are ????



The back however (Dont look Ethel!) is not so good.

After I had layered it I turned it over and there right across the middle of the back was a dirty great ruckle!! I ripped the back off and smoothed it back down as best I could but by then all hopes of matching the front and back borders was over and I had to hope for the best.

I dived into the quilting, forbidding myself to turn it over and check on how the front and back were aligned. Only at the very end did I look!

It was not as bad as I feared, but one of the back borders widens to an inch in the middle from 1/2" at the sides whereas the widest border is a pretty regular 1 3/4" all along. I knew I was going to be on a sticky wicket with the borders from before Rucklegate but at least the front borders are a pretty consistent 1 1/4" all around.

Its not square and the piecing still aint pretty but I love it and its back where it belongs!

Thank you for that reasoned explanation of why you chose that great pattern Rubes, its always interesting to know why people choose certain designs and the results.

I quilted several overlapping spirals on the Ironing board cover and tho you think every wobble away from the width of the walking foot will show, it really doesn't: ... As always the whole captivates the eye rather than the wobble!

Doing one humungous spiral goes above and beyond in my opiniion and Im glad you stuck with it and turned out such a gorgeous quilt..... No wonder Mr Rubes is possesive of it!

Acorn, how dd you get the variegated effect in the designs ...  it looks like a very slow change variegated thread has been used!
Did you have to stop and re-thread each time at various points of the pattern or ??

Beautiful Twopence,
