I got this pattern all cut last night. Her directions are as some of you mentioned a bit confusing. I especially don't like that she gives no info on how many strips of the block borders to cut, just says cut some. However, I did email the designer and she emailed back within an hour with additional pictures and advise. I'll probably start sewing on it Friday or Saturday.

be sure and pin exact at several places to line up each layer as perfect as you can. The beauty is points matching.
And cut down the fabric as that is always the exact repeat. |

I loved making mine. I found some really neat material with interesting designs. The most patternded fabric of the line I used for the 4 patch posies. The coordinating stripe was for the sashing and the small coordinating pattern was for the cornerstones and borders.
I just pinned the the layers of fabric together matching a few points throughout and then cut away. It was a quick and easy quilt to make. ali My finisehd 4 patch posie quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]243016[/ATTACH] |
