Raconteur - The Storyteller's Collection.
Well I have finally finished it. Only six years in the making but it is finally over and done!!!
Lots of numbers to please the mathematicians among you.
There are 49 full blocks, 8 half blocks to fill out the sides and 4 corner blocks to taper the corners.
Each small hexagon, called a block, has a side length of 2 1/4in AFTER the borders are added.
Put seven blocks together and you have a collections. Add a frame around all of those to make it into a larger hexagon with sides of 7 1/8in. So you can see we are talking about big blocks.. well they are big when they reach the collection stage.
I counted the pieces and came up with 13931.. a palindromic number.
To confirm my numbers Paul then counted them and came up with 14,281.... close but not really.
Anyone else want to count?
I must run now so check back in a week or so for further info if you are interested in how this darling quilt came to be.
