I wanted to share some of my OBW progress with QT Fabric panels Resplendent and Queen Bee.
QT’s Resplendent panel, measures 36″ by 42″. I decided to cut off the borders. They measured 3.25″ wide. I will save them for the quilt border and for binding. The inside of the panel measured 25 1/4″ wide.
I cut my aligned panels into 7 – 3.25″ strips and 1 – 2″ strip.
The strips yielded 105 sets of equilateral triangles.
QT’s Queen Bee
QT’s Queen Bee panel measures 36″ x 42″. I decided to cut off the 3.25″ inner border and cut hexies from it. The inside of the panel measured 19 3/4″ wide.
I cut 6 – 3.25″ strips from the aligned panels which will make 5″ finished hexies.
I got 72 sets of equilateral trinagles from the center of the panels and 34 sets of equilateral triangles from the inner borders that will yield 106 hexies.
Stay tuned for more progress reports. @QTFabrics #QTFabrics #Resplendent #QueenBee QT Fabrics

nice. How do you choose direction horizontal vs vertical?

Hi Susan, are you talking about designing with the hexies? I have followed what Maxine Rosenthal did in her books for 18 years. But, you can choose to design with the hexie openings North & South or East & West. If you are asking whether to cut your strips horizontal or vertical, that too is up to you. I have cut both ways. Because I’m a little OCD I always count how many hexies I get out of a strip, I know that if you cut on the shorter side it shorts you about 10 hexies.
