I wouldn't try it without a pattern. There are 5 different squares and
rectangles in each puzzle piece. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Dr. Quilter" wrote in message ... do you need a pattern? i am sure i can figure it out without one just from the picture Mary in Oregon wrote: http://www.virginiaquilter.com/cgi-l...html?E+scstore This is the one I use. -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of Extraordinary Aliens http://community.webshots.com/user/mvignali (take the dog out before replying) |

Dr. Quilter:
Trust me, this is one quilt you want to do from a pattern. The pieces are pretty easy, but knowing where to put what fabric is what is the hard part. The pattern I purchased (the pattern you can get from the below link), has two charts. One where you paste the fabric you are going to use for that part of the puzzle and the other to show you how to piece each section. Without the "map's", I think I would give up on the quilt after the first couple of blocks. It's also not a quilt you want to piece when you have had a couple of glasses of wine. Ask me why I know that!

Ok, that does it. Now I am gonna have to do a puzzle quilt. When my
daughters and I used to work puzzles, one of them would always take a piece and hide it so that they could put the last piece in -- many times we would get near the end and find two pieces missing -- they had each hidden one. Thanks for the fond memories. Love in Stitches, Coleen "Susan Laity Price" wrote in message ... I saw a cute puzzle quilt yesterday. The gal had followed the pattern but made one of the center pieces black so it looked like a piece was missing. I thought it would look even cuter if you took a part of a colored block and appliqued it onto the border to look like it was the missing piece waiting to be placed. I really want to make this quilt, have the pattern in my someday file, but there are several quilts and other projects ahead of it. Someday this summer I will just declare it puzzle day and whip the thing together. If anyone tries the missing piece idea let me know how it works. Susan |
