Hello everyone, and Merry November!
You may recall from the blog post that listed the quilt blocks for each month that November was going to be '90-Minute Mix-up'. The 90 minute quilt was one of our first 'kits' and got a lot of use. It is a standard 5 x 7 block layout. It is a quilt as you go method, though most don't do the quilting that way.
One day, Sharon Gale showed up with one, but she had gotten tired of just looking a the 35 squares, so she added in some pinwheels for some of the blocks. Very clever! Thinking outside the box gave the quilt an entirely different, and fun, look!
So, that's the 'Mix-up' part of this month's block - take your 35 standard squares (and these can be any size even though I said 9 inch squares in the blog post), but somehow change some of the blocks to make a look that's snazzier than a standard 90-Minute! This will be an exercise in creativity! What you do with the blocks you mix-up is entirely up to you!
Look at the photo in the August (or September?) blog post of a typical 90-Minute to remind you of the standard look. Part of me wants to offer suggestions on things you could do, but I'm going to resist... I'm going to leave that entirely up to you!
Can't wait to see the results of everyone's ideas!
