Has anyone else decided to use Creative Grid"s Cat's Cradle? It is so easy!

[Sharon P.]

Can’t imagine them being any easier than the way they are done. I will check it out though. Thanks for the question.

[Barbara C.]

Planning to try that method

I see that Creative Grids has two different Cat’s Cradle rulers, which one did you use?

[Sharon P.]

I love this block! I am having a difficult time as I don’t have large enough design wall.ha. I’m curious if I could put up in sections or quadrants,stitch together, then stitch them all together when done piecing?

[Connie W.]

I was wondering the same thing. It's such a large quilt. Ii was thinking of starting to put it together in groups of maybe 3 blocks wide and 3 blocks high--that way at least you would be working with larger sections and it would be easier to align things and take down if you needed the design wall for another. project.

[Sharon P.]

Can this quilt be put together in quadrants since it is so big? Would it be a problem later on?

[Ellen J.]

I have ran out of the Poppy Fields fabric. Can I purchase more?

[Barbara B.]

I have asked the Store and am waiting for an answer.

[Barbara C.]

I am thinking of trying Dee Christopher's method of making cat's cradle that she demo on Sat.

[Ellen J.]

Thanks Barbara!

[Barbara B.]

Ellen, I haven’t gotten an answer. Send an email to [email protected]. They should be able to tell you if they have any for sale.

I put mine together in sections, top, bottom, and the middle is in 3 sections. I still don’t have the pattern instructions yet for assembly so I recommend you wait for those.

My question isn’t about Month 8 and if it’s not allowed please remove. I’ve decided I want to make my LR quilt a little larger but will need some additional fabrics (I bought the Grandmothers kit). I’ve searched online and found some of the Hearthstone collection but I still could use a yard of each of Amazing Grace R600530 Cream, Parchment R600542 Cream, and Copper Trail R600543 Teal. If anyone has any excess they’d be willing to part with or knows of a quilt store that has some in stock, please pass the shop name and location along and I’ll contact them. Thanks in advance.

[Barbara B.]

It's perfectly fine to ask this question here. I hope someone with excess Autumn Kit fabrics will be able to help you. Early on someone gave the name of a quilt shop which had the fabrics available. I will see if I can find that post for you.

The shop mentioned had the SPRING fabrics. The AUTUMN fabrics are at least one year older than the SPRING fabrics so they may be harder to find. Here is that post, you can contact that shop to see if they have any Autumn fabric:
