Regardless, I didn't sew at all last night, so by 6:00 tonight, I headed downstairs to see what else I could accomplish with Scot's Camo quilt. The inner squares (obviously) were pieced tonight as well as two small borders. Then I played around with some Flying Geese since I had a good handful of 2.5" scraps after cutting up the squares. I have 20 completed---I did a few different arrangements with them---trying them with a black brick inbetween each, with a camo brick between each, but in the end, one Flying Geese next to another really just looks the best. So.....I SHOULD need 24 for each side (the inner section with borders is measuring 48"x48") HOWEVER, with the 20 laid out......(seam allowance overlap already taken out of the equation)....ummm.....I don't think another FOUR will fit!!!!! *scratching head*..... I really can't see the border stretching that much. If I could find my stinkin' tape measure, I'd be able to double check the 48x48 measurements!Anyway......I came up at 9:00 to grade a few papers, write a quiz, and now I'm checking in.
Happy Wednesday!

It looks to me as if you could either trim your second border to fit; or you could just add a strip of black or camo on the end of your flying geese strip. Have fun sorting it out.
This quilt is absolutely wonderful! Who knew camo could look so good! I think I would add black squares/rectangles to the ends of your geese strip. I can't wait to see it all finished! :0)
The quilt is awesome! Can hardly wait to see it finished. :D
