I do hope you stop by again and see the link to the pattern you asked about that I used for my Jacob's Ladder quilt. I would have emailed you, but your email settings are set to private.
The pattern I used to make my blocks were found here:
http://quilting.about.com/od/blockofthemonth/ss/jacobs_ladder.htm
In the directions, she has you cut the squares to 4 ⅞" to make the half square triangles. I round my squares up and trim the half square triangles down to size to make them perfect. Well, as perfect as I can. =)
A pink, white and gray baby quilt will be lovely!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again sometime. =)
Dear Amy, i am very thrilled that you answered my question! I discovered the email follow up comment button after i published the comment ! Thank you for your hints about the pattern especially about trimming down to the right size.. I would like to send you a picture of the finished quilt. I dont think i would have ever put those colours together but i have some lovely small print greys and sweet pinks, a very vintage effect. My Mum chose those colours for her bridesmaids in 1951. I drop by your blog whenever you list and i revisit often your earlier work and writings. I find comfort in reading words and thoughts from a Real person ...and somewhat kindred spirit. Through your site i found Jennifer Reynolds of Elefantz which was quite funny as i am from a Sydney suburb and Jenny is a fellow Aussie! After the jacobs ladder i wish to tackle the scrappy trip around the world, inspired by your quilt and attempt strippy quily like you have just done. You have inspired me greatly and i really want to send to you and Your Family many Blessings for Christmas and the hope that the coming Year is filled with Health and Happiness.
