Q&A with Allie Aller
Dena_Living Water Quilter asked:

Allie Aller answered:
Thanks!
PJD asked:
wow....gotta' try this soon
Allie Aller answered:
Thank you! Once you learn the Freezer Paper Method and the Herringbone stitch, you are good to go!
teri68 asked:
How much material do you need to make this pattern a full size quilt?
Allie Aller answered:
Each block is 14" X 14" A full sized quilt would require 6 rows of 5 blocks--or so--to measure 70" X 84". You would probably need about 5 years for the backing, and the same amount of muslin and interfacing for the foundations. As for the crazy quilt fabrics, I don't know: I always used heaps of scraps!

Saving my pennies to take your class Allie! Love all your 'stuff', including this project. Never saw anything like it before!! Thank you for sharing.
Allie Aller answered:
I was experimenting with making a "repeating" crazy quilt block across a whole quilt. I'd like to keep on with this concept!
