I going on a quilt retreat this weekend! However, they don't have Internet access at the Rapid River Lodge where we will be staying! So no more blog entries until Monday.

Note that all the pictures of the lodge at the above link are all taken in the summer. We have about a 2 ft snow base now and the
weather forecast for this weekend is a high of 10 F with wind chills of -25 F. Even though the ski trail is close by, I think we will just stay inside and quilt!

Today's post is about how to recolor your quilt blocks in MyWebQuilter.com.


Start by selecting the quilt blocks that you think might work for your quilt. Do this on the Choose Quilt Block page.


By each selected block there
will be a "Color Options" link.



This link takes you a page where you see any standard color options (that I created) and offers a link for you to choose you own quilt block colors.



Choosing New custom color option takes you to the quilt block recoloring page. Start by selecting the base quilt block color that you want to change. The selected color is larger than the others. Then use the fabric stash on the left to select a new color. Use search to find colors.



When you are happy with the results, enter a name for your color option and click Save.

If you are logged in, your color option is saved
permanently. If you are not logged in, just create a user id, login and then choose "Save Design Wall" to permanently save your quilt block color options.

Your custom quilt block color options are available for you to select for your quilt. You may rename and/or edit any quilt block color options that you create.



Happy quilting!

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
