I know GPDU is over and I do have everything saved but could you tell me how much yardage was needed for all the bias stems?

We no longer have any legal access to the 2022 BOM. All rights returned to Irene Blanck after 2022. Contact her to see about buying what you need. No one here can give them to you now, that is copyright infringement and is illegal.

Anne, I hope you printed the Optional Alternative Instructions I wrote to supplement the pattern. The paper pieced borders are fully explained in it. The first paper pieced dogtooth border FINISHES at 18" x 2.5". Draw that size rectangle and then add 1/4" seam allowance all around it. The UNFINISHED size of the 4 borders are 18.5" x 3". After you paper pieced them, be sure you trim each border to 18.5" x 3" so they fit the center block accurately. There are four 3" corner squares that are added to the top and bottom borders.

Good morning,
I'm very late in starting, but here I go. I made the vase and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I made the sawtooth boarder and I realized that I'm just a bit too small. I don't know how to adjust the size on my printer, so I'm going to draft out the sawtooth boarder. Please tell me the width that I'll need to make this. I believe it's 18.5 x 2.75.
Thanks, now I need to find some more coffee.
Anne

[QUOTE=Ktmosedale;n891766]Yes I’m struggling with flower D and H. I’ve watched all the videos, read the blog and been following the forum. I’m a bit behind most as I’ve only done about half the appliqué for month one. I found the individual leaves and petals manageable and am pleased with results but D and H are causing me problems. Any advice gratefully received. [/QUOTE]
For help with V's, those deep places on flowers D and H, go watch show 806 with Verna Mosquera. Starting at about 32 minutes she shows how to hand applique those V's. The process would be similar for machine applique--you would turn the edges under for that just like they are turned under for hand applique.
Our site has almost 400 shows and the search box is very helpful. I searched for hand applique and it didn't take me long to find this show.
Take a look--then let us know if it helped.

Hi I could do with some help / advice with the turn edge appliqué for the concave bits of the flower petals. I’ve tried various methods but can’t seem to stop the fabric fraying inner point.

[QUOTE=LizAnderson;n891732]Barbara. I asked a question in another place …. So I’ll ask here. Do we need 2 copies of your pattern for the second sawtooth border? And….I have not removed my paper from the last border, when would you suggest doing that…after I attach the ‘vine’ border?[/QUOTE]
The pattern pages for month 2 paper pieced Dogtooth borders make 2 borders. As there are 4 borders you will need to print two copies of the patterns.
I remove the paper as soon as the border is made and trimmed to the proper size. The paper has done its job at that point, the rest is regular piecing.

[[email protected];n891709]New to the "PARTY". I just got all my fabric pulled/purchased. I know it has been suggested we wash everything. I always wash and starch my fabric before I quilt. My question: Do I starch for this project as well? I would feel better about it, is there any reason not to starch?[/QUOTE]
There could be a reason not to starch. Most of the fabric will be used for appliques. Try a small sample of starched fabric, starched as you usually like, and prepare and applique a couple shapes from Month 1--a circle and a leaf, for example. If you get good results with starched fabric on the curves and are happy with it, you will know it's OK to starch. I would find it difficult to get smooth edges with starched fabric but I don't typically work with starched fabrics. Try it to see what works best for you.
