I can\u2019t remember the dimensions but it looks as if the Bricks are 2 \u00bd \u201c by 4 \u00bd \u201c; it would work larger or smaller so long as the width was half the length in the finished brick. The white and coloured bricks are then put together round a central square of white.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1149\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1149\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1-1-IMG_3349.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1149\" alt=\"warm spicy brick quilt\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1-1-IMG_3349.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1-1-IMG_3349.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1-1-IMG_3349-300x291.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">warm spicy brick quilt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty sure this is one my mother made although I can see it was made of a pooled collection of scraps because some of them are from my stash. The block pattern was a block of the month challenge which I think I might have set for our quilting group. As I recognise all the fabrics in the quilt as a collection of \u201cyours and mine\u201d this must have been a joint effort for mum and me rather than of the group as a whole.<br \/>\nMuch as I like this collection of earthy, spicy colours, they are not my colours and would not sit well in my home, which is why I guess it languishes at my mother\u2019s house, unloved, unused. And yet I have just realised a use for it, My Dad may have to get used to being transported in a wheelchair at least over longer distances, as a retired Builder, what better than a \u201cBrick\u201d quilt to throw over his knees on colder days when out and about in his wheelchair.<br \/>\nI\u2019m booked to take him to a hospital appointment next week, he\u2019ll have to accept wheelchair transportation for the first time, now dare I introduce the quilt at the same time? Or should I let him get used to accepting the wheelchair first? One brick at a time I think.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I recognise all the fabrics in the quilt as a collection of \u201cyours and mine\u201d this must have been a joint effort for mum and me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[86,5,3],"tags":[324,978,327,322,33,148,942,325,320,321,953,326],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1146"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1151,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146\/revisions\/1151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
