Barbara I need some help with locating a Jinny Beyer Perfect Piecer. I have search stores/websites no one has the item or knows if it can be ordered. I would like to purchase two one for my granddaughter’s birthday and one for me so i can answer her questions.
Thanks
Joyce

A quick Google search doesn’t find any for sale. Perhaps someone on the Forum has one to sell you. Start a new TOPIC asking for one for sale so maximum people will see it.

I had one of those perfect Piecer loved it until I lost it on my holiday. After years of searching I found Marti Michell's 'Deluxe Corner', though it is not the same but does the job. Let me know if you have tried it Thank you GopaLast edited by Gopa R.; 05-24-2023, 07:07 PM.

Is there a video for month 5 that explains the applique portion of month 5 perhaps better than the printed instructions? i've been quilting for almost 40 years, and I'm struggling with this. no problem for me doing HST. Thanks!

Month 3 video shows the same leaves. Month 5 instructions say it is the same shape as Month 3.
-
No video that I am aware of but perhaps if you look at the image of the quilt you will get the general idea that you need to find the middle of the rectangle the long way, position the two darker green leaves 3" up from the bottom where their points are touching the center fold. Stitch them down. Repeat with the light green leaves at 1 1/2" up from the bottom. Stitch those down. Place the green stem right down the middle where one end of it is even with the bottom of the rectangle. (I chose to go with a 4 1/2" stem). Stitch that down. Then, last, place the little berry over the top of the stem (making sure you have left a little more than a 1/4" at the top for seam allowance for next month's corner blocks. Stitch that down.

Originally posted by noreenquilliam View PostI too am having trouble with the month 5 little bud rectangle. When using stems cut at 3 1/2" the berry sits very close to the top set of leaves. Also, it looks a lot closer than in the photo of Sarah's quilt. Maybe the stems should be longer??Barbara Black

I still think it was a typo. I did the 3 1/2" stems but they are not aesthetically pleasing on a 5 1/2 inch block. I re-did my stems at 4 1/2" as that is what Sarah actually used if you measure on her quilt. I am saving the 3 1/2" stems for month 10 when they will go into a 4 1/2 inch block.

I find the 3.5" don't work at all. I'm going to rip all of mine out and redo with 4.5". Wish I'd found that typo sooner.

I'm a bit behind on month 5. the instructions say from the 6 large triangles cut: one strip from each fabric...is this a strip of light and a strip of dark?

NOTE: I cut 3” and 2” strips, not 2 7/8”/1 7/8”.

I am a little behind with Homeward Bound Month 5, and am having trouble with the orientation of the stripes in the large triangles. I made all the HSTs the same, but when I flip them to place them correctly, half of them are at right angles to the others. Did I miss something, or is there a trick to solve the problem? Thank you

I played with striped paper first to try to figure it out. If you want them all the go the same direction, they have to be cut separately. I ended up cutting my squares on the diagonal half from lower left to upper right and half lower right to upper left. Then I made matching sets. All of my lines go the same direction on the quilt, but I know Sarah's all went out from the center or were sideways to the center depending on the color. After working with that paper for hours, I came to the conclusion that the only way to get them to match hers was not cut squares, but cut each triangle to go the proper direction. I wasn't willing to do that. I'm OK with having all stripes go the same direction, so some of them go out from the center, but the matching colors on the other 2 sides are sideways to the center. If you don't understand what I'm trying to explain (probably very badly) take a look at my block so far in the show your progress section & you can see what I'm talking about. You will also notice that I messed up with what I thought I did, so I have 2 sides that I think I'm going to switch out to have those matching stripes! I wasn't as careful as I thought I was.
