Come Said the Wind Lap Quilt Idea

I received an e-mail this week from someone who was interested in larger version of Come Said the Wind.  After a little bit of playing in Electric Quilt, I came up with a variation on the quilt that would work.  I didn't change the size of the blocks, but just added more "borders" that repeated earlier elements in the quilt.

The original quilt design is 33" x 33":

The lap size quilt design:

To get those on point maple leaf blocks to still work at a 3" finished size, I needed to add a 1/2 inch (finished size) border to the wall quilt before the next round of maple leaves.  I then added another 1/2 inch border after that (which was necessary for the final rows of maple leaves to fit across the top and bottom).

The solid borders are all 3" finished sizes.

The final size of the adjusted quilt is 57-1/2" x 67".

I hope this gives you enough information if you wish to make the lap quilt from the pattern.  Please let me know if you have additional questions.

I know this has probably inspired some of you to make this quilt. So I've decided to extend my Come Said the Wind Digital sale for another week.  (Note that the instructions are for the two smaller quilts.  However, you can easily modify these on your own for this throw quilt.)  

Featured Product - Come Said the Wind Pattern Digital Bundle

I've bundled the download version of Come Said the Wind and the two quilting designs.  Extended for one week only, the bundle is on sale for $15  (that's 50% off the non-bundled prices).  No digital longarm system -- there are also pdfs of the quilting designs that may be copied and resized.  Best of all you can get started today with downloads of everything.

Piecing Pattern: 
The poem in the quilt was written by George Cooper, an American poet who lived from  1838 – 1927.  The large wall hanging finishes to 33”□, while the small one finishes 15” x 12”.  To make construction easier, many sections in the quilt use over-sized piecing along with specialty rulers. If you cannot find the specialty ruler, instructions are provided for use of traditional rulers.

Maple Leaf Border Design:  This pattern could be used as a border design or an edge to edge pantograph. 

Maple Leaf Triangle and Point to Point Design:  This pattern could be used as a triangle design or a point to point design to fill a series of setting triangles.  It was specifically designed to complement the Come Said the Wind piecing pattern.  It works great in both miniature and larger triangles.
