Half-Size Measurements

[Andree B.]

GATE BLOCK

Finally, I could work on this. I had to draw in EQ7 full size to figure it out. It seems that the cutting instructions are not accurate for 2 of the TAUPE strips (3-1/2 X 12-1/2 should be 3 x 12-1/2; 1-1/2 x 10 should be 1-1/2 x 10-1/2), but the measurements for full size on the DRAWING on page 4 are correct.

I did not sew mine yet, as I will probably paper-piece it. But these are the measurements that EQ7 provides for half-size:

Height X Width as seen on the block.
IVORY:
3 strips 3/4" x 4-1/2" (middle of the gate)
2 strips 2-1/2" x 3/4" (left and right side of the gate)
2 strips 3/4" x 5" (top and bottom of gate)
2 strips 3-3/4" x 1" (posts)

TAUPE
1 strip 1-3/4" x 6-1/2" (top of the block)
1 strip 1" x 5-1/2" (top of the gate, between the post)
2 strips 3-1/4" x 3/4" (between the post and the gate)
1 strip 3/4" x 5" (below the gate)
2 strips 7/8" x 4-1/2 (gate "background" top and bottom)
2 strips 3/4" x 4-1/2 " (gate background in the middle)

I have the EQ7 drawing for paper-piecing half-size, if anyone is interested, just email me.

Having flung myself at a stone wall this morning split my head open and done sommat to my wrist I'm not able to do my hexies at present so thought I'd show you progress so far.


grrrr not supposed to be upside down. Try again



Mine are marigolds with a bit of poetic license to get them growing on a vine :cheer:

[Andree B.]

Wendy

Your Marigolds are lovely! I love your colors, it's joyful!

I think I might just have found the hidden texts button :woohoo:

Lovely looking marigolds by the way :cheer:

[Rita C.]

Not very hidden Rosemary, I was able to see it. :lol: Wendy, will you please stop doing that to yourself. Seriously though, please take care and I hope you are feeling better soon. Love your marigolds and your heart.

[wendy w.]

Thank you I was playing badminton. Worse part was I still missed the shot!! Rosemary I'm sure the wall has a big dent :lol:

[ANNE E.]

Did you damage the wall? :lol:
Seriously though Wendy hope you will soon be feeling better and back to your sewing.

I hate those stone walls that like to jump out at you! But I love your heart and marigolds! Beautiful job!

[Renata L.]

Why do you go smacking walls, Wendy? You KNOW they're going to smack you back! I hope you recover quickly so you can keep moving on with the hexies. Your marigolds are so pretty!

[Renata L.]

Take care Wendy.

[Barb A.]

I too love the marigolds, lovely cheerful color!

Wall 1, Wendy 0, not good.

Wendy,
I hope you don't have a bad headache, and I hope your wrist is okay. Take care of yourself.

Your border is lovely. You have a gift for color.
