Question about Craftsy Patterns
I'm not even finished with the quilt I'm currently working on and I'm looking forward to my next project! I found this pattern (http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilt...6-sizes-/19957) on Craftsy that my daughter and I love. It will be for her but will be in different colors to match her bedroom. Does anyone know about the accuracy of Craftsy patterns that are purchased? Is there any where I can look at pattern reviews? I haven't dealt with Craftsy at all, so I'm unsure what quality is like. I bought a table runner book at my LQS and purchased the fabric, cut it according to instructions, only to learn the pattern was totally and completely wrong in cutting instructions (luckily the publisher refunded the amount of the book). Twice the amount of fabric later, I have learned not to buy a pattern unless it can be verified that it is an accurate pattern. So, what can I learn from all of you about Craftsy patterns?
I'm sure I could figure out the pattern without purchasing it, but I kind of want to be lazy.

I love the Craftsy site in general, however, it is my understanding that these are not "Craftsy" patterns per se. They are patterns that a designer sells thru the Craftsy site. I would think that Craftsy vettes these designers in some way, but I don't know. Maybe you could email Craftsy and ask them. Their customer service is very prompt.
With all that said, I love that pattern, I am sure your quilt will look great!!!

Cute pattern. It's just simple 6 inch squares made by sewing 3 jelly roll strips together and then cutting into blocks. The sashing could either be done with a solid jelly roll or cut from yardage. The cornerstones appear to by squares cut from the colored jelly roll strips. I don't see how it could be all that far off in instructions.

Nice quilt, but do you really need a pattern for it? It seems very easy and yet very effective use of jelly rolls to me. I have ordered a pattern fom Craftsy as well as number of classes and I have never been disappointed. Good luck!

Trust me you do not need a pattern for this. If you're using a jelly roll cut in 2 1/2" strips, then you would sub cut into 6 1/2" strips. Sewing three together gives you a 6 1/2" square. Your sashing would have four strips cut at 6 1/2" with four 2 1/2" squares for the cornerstones. If this is as clear as mud PM me and I'll try to explain better. This was the first quilt my GD made without a pattern.
