The Answers to the FAQ contest
These are some of the answers I was sent in response to the two questions
this month. Now you can see why I keep on sponsering this game. You guys rock. Im grateful to you for taking the time to play. Diana PS. if you dont see your answer below, dont panic. I didnt include all of them. __________________________________________________ __________ How many legs does a QI have? Well it depends. 2-legged (child, bird) 4 legged (dog, cat, horse) Just kidding on the last one but I love horses and just thought I would throw that one in there. Cindy from MO ****************************** How many pieces of fabric in a 9-patch? You're asking me? minimum of 11. 111 is better. Legs on a QI: 4, but in sets of 2 per. Froodian Slip ******************************** Answer: QI = Quilt Inspector (4-legged kind) Hmm.. Never seen one of these. Must be my Godmom's dog that got really big "barks" after she (dog) stepped once (it was still a puppy then, about year old) my Godmom's fabrics. GM yelled the dog, "never ever step on my fabrics again" and untill this day, it never has! How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? Answer: usually there's 9. If it's just plain nine patch. But sometimes you can put lots more. I even noticed once a nine patch that had only 5 pieces... Don't ask Johanna ************************** Answer: As many as it wants--either 2 or 4 at my place Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? Alternate answer: 42 (if it isn't 9) Mary ****************************************** The canine, feline, equine, bovine and ovine types have 4. The avian and human types have 2. Do Polly's gators count? They have 4. But I don't know how well they count. Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? Yer basic, everyday type 9 patch has 9 pieces of fabric. Yer Sunday go to Meetin' types have mo like Contrary Wife and Friendship Star, Calico Puzzle, Shoo Fly (13); Twin Star (17); Variable Star, Indiana Puzzle (21); Card Trick (24); Country Farm (28); Fifty-four Forty or Fight (32); Kansas Star (45)... Anne in CA ******************************** COntest Question: How many legs does a QI have? ANswer: 2 or 4......remember, some people have birds as QIs, and some people simply refer to other human family members as their QIs...lol of course, if it is an injured 4-legger, then the answer would be 3 Larisa P.s. does anybody have a snake as a QI?? if so, then the answer would be none! ************************************* I know! I Know! How many legs does a QI have? However many I haven't cut off accidentally with my special sewing scissors. Jeepers try typing that fast special sewing scissors...special sewing scissors....well you get my drift! Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? 9 of course! Unless you start making crazy nine patches in which case there could be an infinite amount! Ooooh the mind boggles Sharon ******************************* You are always welcome to give me credit for my answers and post them wherever you like, except on a little sticky on my back. Contest Question: How many legs does a QI have? Hopefully, however many they are born with. Sometimes, they end up with less through something icky happening. Sometimes, if they are good at food swiping like a certain dog I know, they end up with more. The average is probably close to 4. Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? Which technique are you using? If you layer two, sew on the 9-patch seam, then cut one of the layers away to get the effect, you get a 9 patch with just 2 layers of fabric. And fuzzy seams to drive Polly Ester nuts. Or you can randomly piece the fabric, then cut and reform to make a 9-patch and end up with several more than 9. Or if you are doing say a 9-patch of 9-patches, you can be driven mad with the mathematical permutations. Yet again, there are no easy answers. But hopefully, most folks will tell you 9. But you should only pick out 2, unless you really like tehm scrappy. Hope this helps, -georg ********************************** How many legs does a QI have? four, unless something ugly happened to the poor baby.... Thinking of a three legged dog that I know that moves along as well as a four legged one.... Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? nine usually. BEG I want to make a quilt like the front cover of the Persian Pickle Club which is a nine patch of five nine patches and four plain blocks. In purple! grin Hugs, Cappy ********************************** I know MY QI has four legs! I would imagine most do but are we sure a bantam hen wouldn't make a great QI? And, a nine patch block has nine pieces of fabric! ;o) Oh, this was fun! Emilia ************************************* Most have 4, some have 2, could have none if you've got a snake, or 10 should you have a squid. Kathryn in Mi **************************************** How many legs does a QI have? Anywhere from zero to infinity. Could be a fish or even maybe a caterpillar or a centipede, the latter not likely but entirely possible. LOL Donna *********************************** Contest Question: How many legs does a QI have? Of the feathered type, hopefully two, although unfortunate accidents with rotary cutters could eliminate one........sigh and of the fuzzy/furry type, again here is hoping for four... unless one accidentally inspects to closely to the brand new very sharp and shiny and did I mention sharp scissors? Maybe even NONE!! I know my orange swimmer has no legs but loves to watch me stitch anyways, even nods in approval once in a while....... although feeding the little orange swimmer usually cures the nodding problem Alternate Contest Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine patch block? Tricky!!!!!!!! Could be from the obvious NINE to about umpteen dozen. I know my 9-patch scrappies have many many bits of fabrics in them and NO I will NOT count them all at this time thank you pffffffffffft NrthrnLghtsLdy ************************** How many legs does a QI have? As many as it needs to hold it up. Some of them have 2 legs and 2 wings. Lots have 4 legs. And AFAIK, Henriette the large black house spider who lives in the laundry room drain may moonlight as a QI. In which case, 8 legs. How many pieces of fabric in a 9-patch? Minimum 9. Lots of mine get HSTs thrown in. Roberta in D, Queen of the Scrap Heap ****************************** There are nine pieces of fabric in a nine-patch, but I, like many others, generally start with two pieces. Lee ************************* It varies. Some QI's are human and have 2. Some are feline and/or canine and have 4. I'm sure there are other varieties with more or less legs which I'd prefer not to think about. J Sherri G in Kentucky ********************************** The Queen Of Everything's Answer: Some people have dogs or cats as QI. Those QI probably have 4 legs each. The Frood Twins are cute QI and have 2 legs each. I do not have canine, feline, or human QI. My QI is a centipede. Her name is Centavia! She has about 1000 legs. She is always stealing fabric to make trousers. You would too if you had that many legs!! Your friend in VA/USA. PAT the Official Chocolate Taster of RCTQ ************************* FOUR (if it's my dog) FOUR (if it's your cat) TWO (if it's Selma's bird) None (if it's your snake) BTW... snakes don't have armpits either! hehe Denise in Ontario, Canada ************************** Question: How many pieces of fabric are in a nine-patch block?
