Was on again last night however I was able to make a start after lunch by pulling out some of the stash with prints suitable for childrens' quilts. These are being donated to the local hospitals not for sale at the auxiliary stalls. A lot of maths needed to be done as the size required is 80 cm x 80 cm and for someone who works in inches for quilting the tape measure needed to be consulted to convert and it was found that 80 cm equals 31 1/2" - not easy to work with. Once lots of multiplying and dividing was done the squares were cut at 6 " with 25 of them are required so that when sewn together it ends up being 28" square and with borders of 2 1/2" it will finish at 32". Close enough to 31 1/2" me thinks.
After a lot of rummaging through that pile these fabrics were pulled

Next one to be cut and sewn will be for a girl.
While the cutting board and rulers were out the second reading cushion cover that was not cut out last week was cut out ready for sewing up.
Happy sewing all

It looks like all that math worked out great! I am impressed.
You did well to work out the size of the blocks you needed to make the quilt.
Lovely bold colours Karen for the quilt and pretty pinks. Very nice work. xx
Well done on making the sizing work. If you work on 32” it is a fairly versatile size.
Way to find a solution to the 31.5" square quilt! See! The brain still works after all! Lol!
it is so annoying when given metric sizing...LOL...but you conquered it!
that is such a good quick style to go with.
Lol, maths keeps our brains functioning better. Looking forward to seeing the progress. No doubt it will come along very quickly .
