Got a question. You said we needed 1 - 9 1/4" square for the 4 trangles in the border. We can't see one of the borders in the picture, but does it have 2 triangles on the other long side like we see in the picture? If so wouldn't that mean that there are 6 triangles in the border? Would we need 2 -9 1/4 squares? I know my brain is working over time but it gets confused so easily these days. lol It must be all that gray hair or the cobwebs that have developed from all those years of not thinking much.......

All the dark purple is included in this yardage requirement. Yes, the dark purple is called “border fabric” throughout the pattern. All the dark purple is included in this yardage requirement.

I was able to find just the right fabrics in my stash to make this quilt in colours very similar to yours, Judy. I don't usually have large pieces of fabric, mostly fat quarters, but I guess it was just meant to be! I'm looking forward to getting started, and I am still working on "Freeze Frame", too! Thank you for these beautiful designs -- my family thinks I am very clever, and it's all due to your patterns! :) This is really a lucky day!

I could do fat quarters and a couple 1 yard cuts, though. So, if I cut the fabric requirements in about 1/3 (and adjust the instructions for myself as we go), I should be able to make a smaller quilt, right? One with 2 of the big "blocks", rather than 6. Looks like I'd have to get creative with the border too, if I do that. This one looks like fun, but my stash doesn’t lend itself to those sizes of pieces.
