Gotham will be my challenge this month. How do you make a quilt that sort of looks like a bat but can still be used and abused as an actual quilt (not so far from a rectangle that it can't be used)? And once you do that - how do you get your quilt to fit the shape? This is what I came up with - a good old fashioned paper pattern (made with office recycled paper taped together). The measurements are not scientific - I just eyeballed the angles and cut. I cut one half and then laid the first half on the other half and cut it the same. Then I taped them together in the centre. With this I will know where to put my blocks when I get them made. I guess making blocks will start tomorrow night, weather permitting. It's been getting pretty nice out so I won't want to be downstairs sewing if the weathe in nice, but it's supposed to rain.
