Thanks for all of theSince our inbox is overflowing with emails about the quilt, and since many of you have the same questions, we thought we'd put together a list of FAQs to answer all of them in one place.
How big are the finished squares (once they are pleated)?The pleated squares are approximately one square foot.
Would another type of fabric work or does the quilt require jersey?I am fairly certain that you could make this quilt with any lightweight fabric. I used jersey because I was modeling mine after Anthropologie's Rosette Quilt, which is made of jersey. But I think any light fabric would work (the 'knots' would be more difficult with heavier fabric).
Will you be selling these?
No plans to... sorry! :)
How many squares would it take to make a queen-sized version? Stay tuned... tomorrow, we have notes from an experienced (and oh so lovely), guest. Sadie Jane from {simply delicious} made a QUEEN SIZED sea of knots duvet for her master bedroom and has all sorts of tricks for y'all.
And of course, she'll tell you how many squares you'll need for the queen sized version of the anthro-inspired goodness.
Do y'all have any other questions? Also, has anyone put together a twin-sized quilt that could let us know how many squares you'd need for a twin?
I totally love this quilt. It would be amazing and I really want to try it.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I bought a similar one from Target for $100. I am SO glad to know that when it starts looking rough, I can make this one as a replacement for such a good price! Thanks!

I actually went to an Anthro store last week and saw the original in person! My hubby said he liked mine better ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it . . . I can't wait to see the instructions for the queen sized version . . . this is so yummy! I totally want to make one!!
ReplyDeleteI recently finished a twin sized version of this and I had to make 42 squares. 7 down for the length of the bed and 6 across for the width. I am so tickled with how this turned out...now I just need a guest to come and stay in my guest bed.
ReplyDeleteSorry, one thing I forgot to mention is that I have a twin bed that sits just a bit higher than most beds (it is a custom made wrought iron bed). So, I had to make it a bit wider and a bit longer than a regular twin, but I bet it would still work on a regular bed without having to have a bedskirt. I still have to sew one of those as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! It's so beautifully done! You do have the talent and skills of making it.
