Shouldn't that be 18X300? Because according to a previous post, the finished quilt measures 90" long. Having 300" makes your next statements about getting (2) sets of 14-15" x 100" borders makes the amounts clearer to this old brain. ;0) or am I having a senior moment after all?Designing Duohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301379152020329936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-51984880665987279782014-04-15T12:41:49.844-04:002014-04-15T12:41:49.844-04:00Yes am a dog person.

If you can have look at the previous reply about the background fabric, I suggested 9 yards because I like biggish background squares, but you can make it using 8 1/2 yards.

I have a light box, I put the design sheet under the background and pin then trace. If you don't have a light box, sliding a lamp under the glass coffee table top works too. Or, buy a sheet of glass from the picture framer store, put masking tape around the edges so you don't cut yourself. Stack telephone books or other books, put the glass on top and slide a lamp under it. This might sound weird, but you can wipe off the excess 2B pencil from the background fabric using a worn white T shirt, the one that has gone through a lot of washing. You rub the T shirt on the marks and they go away. It doesn't seem to work with a new T shirt.

You can use 22" x 22" cut size. For 22" x 22" cut size, you will need a length of fabric 300" = 8.33 yards, I would get 8 1/2 yards. Out of this, I would then take a length of 200", cut a long strip of 22"x 200", cut this into 9 pieces of 22" x 22" squares. Then you are left with 18"x 200" which I would cut into 2 borders 14" or 15" x 100". The left over 100", I would cut 2 strips 14" or 15" X 100" for the other 2 borders. I like using oversized backgrounds, especially if the applique elements are biggish, they tend to shrink the background squares. You can also cut out the background fabric under the applique pieces, which solves the shrinkage problem. I don't like doing this incase you have to move bits around! <br />Re Spots fabric, I can't remember which one I used but there are other colours you can choose, I used a pink one in the Trees of the 4 seasons and it was an easy colour to use. I also like the apple green one. The good part of using the Kafffe fabrics is that all the colours work together really well. kim mcleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186608831103237503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-39781911074599178592014-04-14T22:29:25.291-04:002014-04-14T22:29:25.291-04:00this quilt design just makes my heart so very happ...this quilt design just makes my heart so very happy! i have been wanting to make a kaffe quilt for years and having finally hit upon an applique technique that I really enjoy, seeing this new design unfold has been like all the stars aligning, lol.

I've been to the Glorious Color site to see if I could get the background fabric, but failed as I believe it was a 2009 Spots print of Kaffe's. There are many other Spots available, though.
