    I agree, I think the spacer strip s/b cut @ 3” rather than 2 1/2”, so that the strip ends up being 30 1/2” unfinished.

    This is wierd. I clicked on New Topic to see what it looked like. Didn’t write anything and got out without saving. It created its own post! Can’t delete now. Just disregard this post. I’ll be putting in a ticket.

            Because a lot of members save the patterns each year, in case they want to make the quilt some time in the future, the download number is probably much higher than the number of people actively working on the quilt. I download the patterns every year, but haven't worked on a TQS BOM quilt for quite a while because of time constraints.

          Yes. Twice! Leaning towards Brushed from Marcia Derse’s The Opposites collection. Dishoo, love your choice.

            I saw sewers were happy with the Bernina foot with the guide. I’m sewing on my Pfaff and found this foot is working great. It came with my machine. Will try to attach a photo.

              Here are my first two months. I loved the freezer paper piecing method on the houses but I struggled with it on the compass. It worked well until I got to the ends of the points. It's always fun to try something completely new. I'm loving this BOM so far and can't wait to get to the rest of it!
