Why you should read the directions carefully!


Isn't this a lovely quilt? It is from the latest edition of American Quilting and Patchwork. I fell in love with it and thought it would make a cute baby quilt if I adjusted the size down a little bit. Yesterday I decided to start working on it and got out the magazine so I could start cutting the pieces. Only then did I finally read that the blocks are 4 INCHES ! It IS a baby quilt already. It is still cute - so I decided to give it a go.


That is one of my featherweight bobbins to give you a sense of size. Those little yellow squares are 1.5 inches and are used to make the flying geese pieces of the stars. Only about 40 more little stars to go!

I saw this when I got my issue yesterday! I like it, too! Wow, I hadn't looked at it that closely to realize they were that tiny. Looks great, though! Keep us posted!

I loved that quilt too. But I did read the block size and about fainted. LOL. I think I will resize to 6 inches. Will be a good quilt for niece when she graduates high school next year. I have to start now. LOL cant wait to see yours finished.
