measurements for flea market fancy quilt edit...after further calculations, I changed the yardage requirement for the sashing fabric from 2 1/3 to 2 3/4 yards. (see below.) First off, I'd like to thank Alissa for her inspiration AND her willingness to let me share this pattern with all of you. Here are the measurements I used for my flea market fancy quilt top.... cut a 5" inch square for the center of the block. you will need 20. cut 2 rectangles 3.5" x 5" and 2 rectangles 3.5" x 11". assemble the block with a 1/4" seam allowance. each 1/4 yard (I used 1/4 yards, not fat quarters for this, but FQ's would work, too) will yield enough pieces to border 2 blocks. you will need 10 quarter yards for the outsides of the blocks. make 20 blocks. for the sashing: I used bleached muslin. you will need 2 3/4 yards. first, cut 2 border pieces 5" x 80 1/2" (cut this lengthwise, not selvage to selvage, to avoid seams). set this aside for your final borders. cut 6 border/sashing pieces 5" x 56". cut 15 sashing pieces 5" x 11". Assemble your quilt top.

Epic How-To: Make a 3-D Plush Pattern from a 2-D Drawing ... I’ve made some 2-D plush monsters in the past. They can have a lot of character (like Aristocrates here and his little buddy Protegé). They’re also the best place to start if you are new to making plush. This, however, is not a 2-D plush tutorial, and it is not well suited to sewing beginners. If you are looking for such a tutorial, try here.

Since Mitch has never existed in 3-D, and all I had was this single three-quarter view of him, I needed to start with an intermediate 2-D step, an orthographic projection.
