Every year my quilt guild donates a raffle quilt to the church where we meet. This year we are using MyWebQuilter to design the quilt!

One of our guild members had many Thangles blocks that she made years ago and never used. She donated these blocks to our guild. This is the second quilt that we will make with the blocks. We raised over $700 for charity on the first quilt we made with these blocks.

Here is the picture from MyWebQuilter of the quilt we will be creating.

We only had 17 Thangles blocks remaining, so I made three additional blocks this weekend to create the center part of the quilt. I am in the process of creating the 4 additional Thangles blocks for the border corner blocks. I did not have any of the special Thangles papers to make the half square triangles. I just cut squares, sewed the diagonal and trimmed them. Here is more information on Thangles.

This is a fun project. I plan to purchase the fabric for the borders and setting blocks this week. Sewing will start at our January meeting.

New Quilt Sash Calculator

I added a new calculator to MyWebQuilter.com to quickly calculate quilt sash fabric requirements.  Just enter the number of columns, rows, block size and sash width.  Additional options include calculations in inches or CM and including a border the same size as the sash.  Click on Calculate to get your sash fabric requirements, quilt dimensions and instructions.  All the MyWebQuilter calculators are easy to use on your mobile phone!

Quilt Border Calculator

There are times when you are making a quilt when you need to add borders to increase the size of the quilt.  You may be trying to get the quilt to a specific size.  You may be limited by how much fabric you have. The MyWebQuilter.com Quilt Border Calculator  is free and can help you decide what size borders to add to your quilt. Enter the size of your current quilt and some border sizes you are considering.  Click calculate to get quilt dimensions and fabric requirements.  Change the border sizes and recalculate as often as you want. 

Lawyer's Puzzle Quilt Block Pattern

I am on a roll adding more traditional quilt blocks to www.MyWebQuilter.com . I just added the Lawyer's Puzzle - also known as the Barrister's Block. A 24 block quilt using this block looks like this: You can find the free quilt block pattern here . I love this example of the Lawyer's Puzzle painted on a barn. BTW - Here in the USA there is significance to showing this pattern in green. It is the only green you will have left after paying your lawyer! Happy quilting! Amber
