Questions for Sarah - Month 3 (March)

    Hello bearsquilting,

    Sorry for the late response - been out of town teaching this weekend.

    No - I don't pre-wash or starch my fabric! This quilt has Dream Orient batting in it. My favorite batting, which I couldn't get in time to put in this quilt, is Pellon Legacy Wool. Whatever you use, make it a lightweight batting as the quilt is rather large so can get very heavy.

    Kind regards,
    Sarah :-)

      Sarah, I don't have a question, I just want to thank you for putting the little lines in
      for lining up stripes. I don't have any stripes in my fabrics, but used the lines anyway
      and it was such a help. I haven't done much paper piecing and they made it go so quickly
      and smoothly.

          Sarah, Regarding month 3, template 2: the directions say to glue/paste the wrong side of the fabric to the right side of the template. Does this mean I glue/paste the wrong side of the fabric to the unprinted side of the template? Just want to check before I start cutting! Thank you, Patty

            #20
            Patty - yes! The wrong side of the fabric will be attached to the unprinted side of the template. This way you will be able to see the markings on the template.

            Everyone has been really quiet this month!
            Sarah :-)

                Sarah

                I just finished all the star for Month 3, but my points don't match up with Template # 2. I measured my squares and they are all 2 x 2..

                ps: printed templates using RT Stable Stuff

                Any suggestions before I go unto Month 4

                  Hi Pat,

                  If your circle is the correct size (I think it should be 10" diameter when finished, therefore 10.5" diameter including seam allowances), and your finished square is the correct size (12" finished, 12.5" with seam allowances) then I wouldn't worry too much.

                  Having said that, how far off are the points?

                  Sarah :-)

                    Sarah

                    From edge to edge on the solid line, I have 9 7/8". The points are off by 1/2 ".

                      Pat - can you send me a photo of the block, next to template 2, with a ruler across it? Sounds like something is wrong - but I don't know what without seeing it!

                      Sarah :-)
