Hello friends -
I'm sure I missed the discussion - but what color did you choose to blanket stitch the G, O and O star? My plan was to wait until all letters were finished before blanket stitching, and then do them all at once. Great plan, except now I can't find those colors in the instructions. I'm assuming fuchsia for G and red for O and O star - but I'm interested in what everyone else did. Thanks.
Best wishes,

Hi Mike,
I love the quilt behind you in your profile picture. I used the pink (fushia?) thread for the G, and red for the O and O star, both out of the Magnifico set.

Found it! The color list was in the introductory chapter - right after the photo of the Magnifico threads - duh!
Next question - where are the sizes of the light blue borders listed? I see where it says to starch and trim them down, but I can't find where the original cut size is listed. Can anyone help?
Best wishes,

According to Beverly, it's in "The Ten Things You Need to Know" in the Introductory lesson. Thanks, Beverly! I sure didn't know.Comment

Fantastic! I knew it had to be in there somewhere - thanks so much.

Hi I just posted the same question "what size do we cut/tear the borders". In "10 things we need to know" Janet recommends tearing 4 x 9 1/2" strips lengthwise and trimming it later to the correct size. I didn't buy the fabric kit and I can't seem to find the length measurements.

Hi Pam -
I agree. In an otherwise outstanding pattern, this border section is needlessly confusing. When I combine #3 from the top ten list from last December (tear strips 9-1/2" wide) in what I'm assuming is sky blue fabric #21, and the October instructions at the bottom of the first page (make 2 at 47-1/2" and two at 82-1/2") it sounds like - in a perfect world - the light blue border strips will be 2 @ 8-1/2" x 47-1/2" and 2 @ 8-1/2" x 82-1/2". Does that add up? That being said, whenever appliqué is involved, some extra length and width is always a good idea, with plans to trim to the correct size when the appliqué´is finished. I'm hoping there are better measurements when we get to the outer polka dotted border.
Best wishes,

thanks for the heads up. I'll mark the original measurements, but over-size the borders.Comment
