I was inspired by Janet Wickell's quilting newsletter where she spotlighted three quilt blocks from her archives. I added her Framed Pinwheel, Ship at Sea and Double Pinwheels quilt blocks to MyWebQuilter.com and tried out a few layouts and colorations.

Here are a few of the quilt patterns I created.

Twin size quilt using Framed Pinwheel in bright jungle prints with small sashing between the blocks.



Wall hanging featuring Ship at Sea and Tall Ships quilt blocks. This is my favorite that I will have to make. My house is decorated in sailing and nautical items. My sailboat is out of the water for the winter so working on this wall hanging will keep warmer weather on my mind!



Here is a twin size quilt using the Double Pinwheel quilt blocks in a mirror image set. I used greens and browns for a cabin look.



I also used the Double Pinwheel quilt block in this wall hanging in shades of red and pink for Valentine's day.

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
