Title: Linus quilt
Post by: Lowena on March 07, 2020, 14:43:33 PM

I can't find a thread.
Had anyone finished theirs yet?
I have almost finished the blocks but am not sure of the best size.
If you have finished what size did you decide on?

I have a pile of fabric sitting on the table, as yet uncut.

I don’t think we’ve followed their pattern suggestions in past years @Lowena . We do our own TSP thing :D
I have made all my blocks, but haven’t put them together. I still need to decide on the backing. Do they like fleece, I wonder. If the quilt works out as I’ve planned, I’m thinking of making another the same to give to a friend. Mine will be about 40” square, but I think they take various sizes.

Here's (https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php/topic,8198.msg134846.html#lastPost) the thread @Lowena. We could always do animals sitting on the steps.  :S

Well, I'm completely confused now. I have my "animal" fabric all ready but I thought the Linus quilt wasn't supposed to be started until July?!  -<

I think we decided on animals early so that we could make a start if we wanted to.  In true Pearl style, I started in plenty of time and will be finishing it at the last moment.
