    I loved making the beautiful little quilt summer splash. My baby granddaughter loves it too!

    Karla, there is ample fabric in the kit. Although starching should not affect how much fabric you will use. Maybe I am not following your question and if that's the case, I apologize. Feel free to clarify. Thank you!

    This is such a happy little quilt. Lots of techniques used. I loved making the Dresden plates. They are addicting! I am tempted tp make a whole quilt of them like Diane did. I will quilt it on my home machine. Waiting to see what Diane suggests for the quilting.

    What did we need the thread pack for? It is mostly #80 threads

    Why do you think this might require more fabric?

    I will not be washing my fabrics. Just using Best Press on it ahead of time, letting it dry, then pressing it. Thank you!

    Hi Karla, thank you for jumping in to Summer Splash with your autumn kit! I love those fabrics, too. I'm wracking my brain but I am not sure I follow your question. I don't think it will take any more fabric if you wish to use spray starch. Or am I missing something, or completely misunderstanding what you are asking? Please let me know, I'll be happy to help.

    Karla, Sorry to see no one has responded to your post. Not sure what you are asking. Starch does
    not make the amount of fabric change. Were you talking about washing the fabric then starching it, and you are worried about the shrinkage? Maybe customer service could check with the people
    that made up the kits. It is worth an email. HelenW

    I would like to start summer splash, but I am still waiting on an answer to my question:

    Loved the first lesson by Diane Harris. Even though I have been quilting for almost 3 decades I learned things that
    were explained in a different way and it was easier to understand why it was important. I am not one to follow a pattern
    although I think her pattern is great. Not needing another project to those I am currently doing I liked the miniature type size so I bought the download pattern. This morning I got a newsletter
    email from Kari Schell on how to draft a friendship ring variation of the Olympic Rings. I thought it would look great in
    my variation of Summer Splash to include some Olympic stuff since they start in Paris in a week. This is the ring block
    I drafted to put in my Summer Splash. This is going to be a fun project. HelenW

    After downloading the pattern, the thought of cutting everything first was overwhelming.
    So I browsed the instructions and decided to make the top left corner block as a sample
    to see if Paula Doyles mini mosaic method would work. Not bad, but not as accurate as
    I was hoping. Since I plan to throw in some blocks related to the Paris Olympics, I decided
    to just pick parts of the pattern to use.

    Made another corner block and it turned out more accurate.
