Quilts at the Bay Quilt Show

Our quilt show was a big success! We had more than 160 quilts from at least 60 local quilters. We also displayed the Keepsake Quilting Challenge Traveling Quilt Show. The proceeds were more than we expected and will be donated to local charities.

Here is a picture of Dorothy Banchak ... our Featured Quilter. Dorothy is 90 years old and still going strong. We had many of Dorothy's beautiful quilts on display, her granddaughter provided violin music as part of the entertainment and everyone enjoyed visiting with Dorothy.

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!

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
