i revised the pattern and made smaller square gift boxes. The pattern maker said she was going to include both sizes, but i only got the larger

You know what? I didn't even notice that. I finished mine yesterday and I love it! I'll take a pic. I made my runner smaller for my kitchen table. I made 3 gift boxes with 2.5 inch sashing.
I also bought her Love Letters pattern for pillows.

These are beautiful! I have made the dimensional star before and it was much easier that it looks. It makes for a beautiful runner. The table mats are so pretty and will brighten any seasons table. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pieces.

They are lovely and special.
