Is there a block 9?
love to quilt and always looking for different ways to use a pattern
Is there a file for corrections? I have printed my patterns and have not started yet, today is the day I am ready to cut but I keep reading about having wrong measurements on the FB page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the sew along, I sew enjoyed the last one too. Happy Sewing
Am finding the monochromatic pattern to have a few flaws with cutting of certain colors. Have had to cut extras of some colors and have had leftovers on some. I was able to work it out, but it was frustrating. I’m doing both quilts.
loving these patterns
Love these blocks
I joined the challenge late. I was able to download Blocks 1 through 5 but have not received Block 6 via email. Where can I download the PDF file?
Thanks
I am having trouble getting block six
I’m working on block 6, page 3. What is the reason for not trimming block B and only trimming fabric F and E?
