Episode 11 ~ Pattern Drafting
Listen to the podcast of this postToday we talked about how to draw out a pattern.
Check out how many pieces are in the next applique block I am starting – it is going to take forever!! There must be 500 points! This is it drawn out on freezer paper. I still have to cut it out and iron to fabric.
Here is the lastes block I finished on my Frolic quilt.
Goodies picked up at the last Quilt shop visit – Do you think an apron will make me a better cook?
Blocks finsihed for my basket block swap. I just have to add the felted flowers. The handle was the most difficult to come up with. I kept cutting the strips too skinny to fold into a handle.

Hi! Love, Love the podcast. Thank you so much. I have a suggestion on the talkative 5 year old…. when she asks a question, respond by saying, “What do you think?” or “I wonder……”
I am the same way as you are with laundry, I like the screened in porch idea. I’m glad you share random stuff. Love anything on quilting.

Hi Brye Lynn, I don’t often get a chance to come on here and comment but just wanted you to know that you are doing great. I never miss your podcast. Love the apron pattern. I am currently listening to this podcast on pattern drafting to and from work.

I hope your apron turns out lovely! Jean’s apron episode inspired me to make an apron for my daughter and myself. It didn’t help my cooking but I sure do get a lot more done around the house when I wear it.
I love the handle on the basket squares you did. Did you have to reinforce them much? I know that if my daughter hot a quilt with a handle on it, she would drag it around by said handle!
Hi Brye Lynn! I haven’t listened yet but I wanted to mention…your blog listings have suddenly been shrunk to summary versions on bloglines even though my setting says to deliver the complete entry. Just so you know…I don’t actually know what causes that behavior but I’ve noticed it recently on several blogs I read.
