Quilting Idea - Sudoku Patch
I'm currently stuffing papers into binders, which is leaving my mind free to do things like reverse-engineer the requirements make this quilt. While I was figuring out which patch goes where to make it lock together, I suddenly thought:
Y'know what would make a great scrap quilt? Or a crazy quilt? One based on Sudoku puzzles. You wouldn't even need to do the work, just lift one of the "yesterday's puzzle" keys. Figure out what size square quilt would fit your bed & divide by nine, then add seam allowance to get your patch size, then go out and buy 9 different fabrics, one for each number.
A 45" square lap quilt would take a 5" finished patch (6" cut size, including .5 seam allowance). If my calculations are correct, it would take about 2.25 yards to get that from standard 40" quilting fabric. (Or you could mix it up by saying that all 1s are some shade of light blue, all 2s are some shade of dark blue, etc. for a lower per-color yardage requirement.)
Hmmmm....
