If you are adding solids to the mix, I have some more cutting instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~
If you alternate solids for BOTH the 1'' and 2'' blocks, from your solid you will need to cut:
40 WOFx 1.5'' strips (then cut them in half along the fold line = 80 pieces)
50 WOFx 2.5'' strips (then cut them in half along the fold line = 100 pieces)
and then from your FQ's, cut all 20 the same as for the original quilt (80 pieces @ 1.5'' and 100 pieces @ 2.5'')
~~~~~~~~~~~
If you plan to alternate JUST the 2'' blocks, then from your solid you will need to cut:
50 WOF x 2.5'' strips (then cut these in half on the fold line = 100 pieces)
Then, from the 30 FQ's:
cut 20 FQ's into 3 @ 2.5'' strips and 6 @ 1.5'' strips each (= 60 @ 2.5'' pieces, 120 @ 1.5'' pieces)
the remaining 10 FQ's, cut 4@ 2.5'' and 4 @ 1.5'' strips from each. (=40 pieces for a total of 100 @ 2.5'' and 40 pieces @ 1.5'' for a total of 160.)
If you are cutting from your 'stash' - you will need a total of
100 WOF @ 2.5'' (cut in half on the fold to equal 200 pieces)
80 WOF @ 1.5'' (cut in half on the fold to equal 160 pieces)
Happy cutting, and I will see you next week!
