Then I read about all the trouble you had with the pattern! You made a remarkable recovery! I always like to make one block before cutting everything, just to be sure it will all go together well. I never thought about a pattern having an error, but now we know it can happen, don't we? ---"Love"---"Love"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253789635330034057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-80287469054492018982019-08-12T20:32:25.196-05:002019-08-12T20:32:25.196-05:00And here I was thinking how interesting that the p...And here I was thinking how interesting that the patchwork triangles extended into the plaid border! Just goes to show that the fix is sometimes better than the original, but often more frustrating, too.

I'm surprised Kathy Doughty hasn't put the correction on her website. I actually have the book here from the library and think I'll at least put a note in it that the cutting directions are incorrect for the background pieces. I had this happen with one of my very first quilt made for my nephew. I had cut all the pieces first and the background pieces were too small. Of course, I knew it as soon as I pieced the first block and can't remember if I had enough fabric to recut them or if I had to switch backgrounds. He's 25 now, so it's been awhile and I don't cut all my pieces now until I try a block.<br />PatMissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-36237117299447192712019-08-12T19:45:32.134-05:002019-08-12T19:45:32.134-05:00I have this book and have been putting off making ...I have this book and have been putting off making this quilt ...

The stripey tulips and patchwork triangles are so pretty. I especially like the way the strip of red plaid you added makes those triangles go out into the edge of the quilt. I'm glad you were able to work it out!

Super idea to add “coping strips” and the red and black plaid works so well. Now that you have brought the error to light I wonder how many other Quilters will remember their UFO tucked away after suffering the same frustration as you? So pleased for you that your maths ability came to the rescue and that you have completed a delightful flimsy.

But interesting that there's not a link on Kathy D's website with a correction......Makes you wonder how many designs published in quilt books (or magazines) actually ever get made. [That's why I have, on several occasions, shared photos with designers to let them know that at least I've done so!]<br /><br />P.S. I think you're sending the rain our way.
