I found Sarah's measurements also to be "just big enough". I cut the framing the units for Month 2 (sorry, I am on vacation and can't remember the letters) about 1/2" longer and wider than Sarah instructed. That gave me some comfort room for error. Carol Doak usually recommends generous cutouts. I really like the sewing of the guidelines for placement of the applique and also for the placement of the framing units. Honestly, everything came together absolutely fantastically for me! Yes, this is not for the faint of heart, but I think it is doable if you take your time. We are learning some great new techniques! There are going to be some awesome quilts at the end of the year! I am even thinking this would be great done "downsized"!

I print on the fast or economy setting then press the paper with a hot iron and a clean sheet of paper on top so that it "sets" the ink. Have never had any trouble with transfer of ink to fabric.Comment

I finally decided to try Month 1 for the third time and finally have a gorgeous center circle. I did as suggested and watched the videos by Carol Doak and Sue Garmin and also cut the pieces larger than suggested. I am very pleased with the results and at this time only have 9 more circles to machine applique down before I go on to the next part of Month 1. I sure hope I can finish month 2 in time to be on target in March. As far the the printer ink I have learned NOT to use steam and also I purchased the Carol Doak paper for piecing. This has to be one of the most gorgeous quilts and is offered for free, can't beat that.
I have a question that I've been wondering about. Can we enter a quilt in a contest that we have not designed ourselves? Not that I think my quilt will be that worthy but with all the members doing this quilt there just might be a spectacular one worthy of entering. Curious minds want to know.Comment

Yes, you can enter a quilt that you have not designed in a quilt show. You need to make sure you give the pattern designer credit, and sometimes it helps to ask permission. The key is always give credit where credit is due!
