Tiles quilt along part 2

Hopefully you visited Bear Creek Quilting for the 2nd part of the quilt along - the cutting!  My original Tiles quilt is now adorning my living room in an antique basket in an adorable rolled  bundle.  Love love love this quilt.  This one will be set aside after the quilt along for the next special wedding (which isn't happening anytime soon that I know of!)  It will be such a wonderful heirloom gift :)

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!
