MONTH 4 — Show Your Progress Here

[Tina P.]

The instructions and tips are wonderful!!!

Still working on the month 2 but have the rest done.

[Gloria V]

Finished Month Four for both the Grandmother and Granddaughter quilts. I found this block to be really labor intensive and absolutely appreciated the wonderful diagrams that Lynn supplied and all of Barbara's great tips about measuring, measuring and measuring!!

[Pamela F.]

I could’nt stand it! While it saddens me greatly to pull the very colorful fabric, I just did not see how I could have the details of the checkerboard and the stars without switching to a more subtle pattern. I can still use the colorful fabric for the outer border. I’ll add the first and second rendition photos.

[Ellen L.]

That makes a big difference. It's hard to change when you're in love with a fabric, bravo!

[Kathleen G.]

Shared this afternoon by the quilt show that someone has already finished her quilt? How is that possible??? Do we have access to all the blocks??

[Barbara B.]

No, she figured it all out.

My 32 blocks for month for completed. Thanks Barbara for helpful suggestions.

[Ellen L.]

love the color in your large triangle.

[Ellen L.]

I'll be gone most of May, but April is done, and I'll catch up in June. That diagram to lay out the squares was fantastic.

[Gayle A.]

Instead of using triangles for the "B" fabric, I used squares (same as for fabrics C & D). The excess was trimmed when I attached the final "A" piece.

[Helen W.]

Gayle A, Great idea. I did that exact thing when I made the block in a different pattern. The
block was bigger, but it just seemed logically easier. HelenW

[Barbara B.]

It does mean you will use almost twice as much fabric for the small triangles, with some going in the trash. This could be a factor for the many people using the Kits.

Completed this month’s blocks and did a little playing when I was counting to make sure I had 32. Loved the fabrics, but will need to get some more. While I love the fabrics, I was looking for a different green. I wanted to match the leaves more, but I’m sticking with this. I am really enjoying the challenge and the learning curve.
