I saw the pillow and had to look the quilt up. It seems you are not the only one to forget the seam allowance. I was doing a moke up with some scraps to see if it would work. Long story short. I had to make three blocks before I got it right. I am thinking maybe it is a Kansas thing?Qubiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181544717505727401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-34335382694276939532008-05-09T08:53:00.000-05:002008-05-09T08:53:00.000-05:00I'm right with you on the constant mistakes...pret...I'm right with you on the constant mistakes...pretty much everything I make is slightly altered in some way!

I tried freezer paper applique by hand, and all the stars were skewed, which would be okay for a folksy quilt but not for blue star moms.<BR/><BR/>So I had to trim off the 1/4 seam allowance, and machine appliqued those babies in place. Wasted 7 hours total on those things. (sigh)<BR/><BR/>BTW, what's a peeper? Couldn't figure out from the tutorial.Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883248899266708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-22088029571463847362008-04-23T18:43:00.000-05:002008-04-23T18:43:00.000-05:00I love the blocks - you'll never know they are won...I love the blocks - you'll never know they are wonky when put together.

What size will this quilt be and do you think you have enough flannel fabric for the backing in your stash? Such a pity postage is so hefty or I would send you backings for these kind of things. Oh well, have to find some kids charities here to help with. Enjoy the rest of your stay with your folks.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881813676056714366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-75114607867582575042008-04-23T10:57:00.000-05:002008-04-23T10:57:00.000-05:00thanks for the link to the whirlygiggles tutorial....thanks for the link to the whirlygiggles tutorial.
