OH, Thank you so much! Just copied it to my notes so I don't have to search for it later. March 15, , AM.
This is great.. I was just wondering this the other day. March 17, , AM. Typically when I want to use all of a fabric that I love. You the woman! I bet you didn't have anything else to work on this lovely December day, did you??? You are an absolute gem! I cannot tell you how bad my math is and this post will help me out A LOT! Thanks xx. Very helpful! Thanks so much for this and all your fabulous tutorials.
I love coming here for my daily dose of sewing inspiration Yes, it was very helpful, despite the fact that my eyes crossed a couple of times. Huge help. This way I don't need to go find a quilter to ask these questions.
I can do it myself. I'm new to quilting. I, like some of the other posters, would like to thank you for taking the time to do provide this info. Are you familiar with the expression, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime"? There are a whole lot of new fishers out there because of this post. Oh man, I would never want to do a full size stacked coins quilt!
I did a table runner, and did each strip the same, and yet when I added my sashing, the strips slowly got longer from one end to the other, so my rectangular table runner was almost triangular. Hated it, didn't want to rip it all out so I squared it up, cut off and wasted a bunch, and finished it.
I can still tell it's wonky, and it makes me so mad!! I don't know where I went awry, if it was piecing the strips or adding the sashing, but I sure hated it, and will never to another one!!! Amandajean thanks for taking the time to post this info. I always get nervous when calculating the measurements for a quilt.
I check and double check and triple check before cutting the fabrics incase I stuff. This info has been very very helpful. I'm going to print it and pin it to my wall for future reference. Looking forward to seeing your next quilt. Funny you should post this today. I'm always asking my dh to help me with the math for how much yardage I need to buy in order to have the right amount for say borders.
The basic formula is finding the area or base x height then dividing that by which is how many square inches in a yard. That'll give me one border so then I multiply it by two. Then do it again for the other two border pieces. Add it all up for the yardage. My 2 cents is: I do mine visually. I create a photoshop document substituting cm for inches ie for a cot size I'd do a 50x60 cm document for a 50"x60" quilt design then I turn on 1cm grid lines A little less maths and helpful while I'm sewing.
I do it the same way, pencil, paper and calculator because the brain's not too good on math either. This was a lot of work so thank you, I'll print it out. Thanks for all the great info and for the link to the quilt calculator. That looks so neat. I use a pencil, calculator and graph paper. I make a rough drawing and then measure, and measure and remeasure. This post is fantastic, even if here In France we use centimetres I think I can just transform I am really a fan of your blog, you made me love again quilting Cath Hey, I see my question!
I'd be 4 steps ahead if I could just remember seam allowances! Quilt on, ladies! I'm printing this out and keeping it handy. Although not necessarily a new quilter I am a mathematically challanged one! This was great, Amanda Jean. It's what I do, but I've been asked a lot of questions about the math portion of quilting, and now I will just refer them to you. I can't remember who said you were the Google of quilting blogs, but I would have to agree.
Well of course this post is useful! I only wish I hadn't already spent a long time figuring it out by myself, it would have taken me far less time to read it from your excellent explanation!
I too am not horribly fond of math, and to be honest EQ can be misleading so often I get out the paper and pencil, and use the calaculator on my computer or blackberry.
That is very helpful for a lot of poeple thanks. What a great post! I will have to reference it over in my quilting bees, so the members have something to help them calculate yardage. Today it's just giving me a math headache. So informative! Thanks for sharing! I always seem to fuddle through my quilts, measuring twice, cutting once. And I always buy too much fabric just to be on the safe-side. I love quilt math, but then again, I love any math, especially geometry!
A jelly roll, in the quilting world, is a pack of fabric strips. They are 2. Most jelly rolls come with about 40 strips of fabric. Jelly rolls are a great way of getting a variety of fabrics to use in a quilt and can be sewn together in a variety of ways, either in strips or cut into smaller squares.
View this jelly roll on Amazon. Plan for error, shrinkage, or possible mistakes. Happy crafting! Wondering what the best quilting fabric might be?
