Thanks to my camera and Photoshop, I am able to give you a visual of the quilt center. It will look something like this:

Simmering Stitchers Quilt without borders (artist's rendering) |
The quilt is made up of 12 blocks. I have made up kits for the blocks, putting together the strips needed to make each block. If you look closely, you will notice that to finish the pattern, there needs to be one more column added to the left side and one more row added to the bottom. I have included those additional strips with those block sets.
I am labeling the blocks in this order:
Block1 - Block2 - Block3
Block4 - Block5 - Block6
Block7 - Block8 - Block9
Block10-Block11-Block12
The strip sets are labeled "A" through "G". The sets go together in the basic block as in the picture below:

Basic Block Strip Set Placement |
The leftmost blocks (blocks 1, 4, 7) have extra strips on the left side. They go together like this:

Blocks 1, 4, 7 Notice the extra F and G strips to the left. |
The bottom blocks (11, 12) have strips added to the bottom. The strips are F and G again, but they are turned on their sides, as in the picture below.

Blocks 11, 12 |
At the meeting, we will decide how to divide the blocks among the team and talk about borders and backing. There's about 4 yards of one of the busy florals, that could work for either a border or backing. Several other fabrics also may be sufficient for borders. We can also discuss whether to piece the back or borders or add some applique to a border or to the quilt center for some additional creativity points. Can't wait to get going on this! Hope to see you at the meeting.
