    Month 1 Blocks

    I've just cut all the required pieces for month one and carefully matched them to the pages. I'm worried about the extra squares. I understand the small ones, but what are the two 5 1/2" white squares for? I'm afraid to begin sewing until I have it all accounted for. :?:

    I'm afraid that since it's been 6 months since I made the quilt, I'm actually not sure about those squares! Could you please go ahead and make your blocks and let me know if those are, in fact, extra pieces? Thank you.

    Has anyone else figured this out yet???

    Part of my problem is that I didn't follow all of Sue's directions because I made my quilt out of scraps and all of my cutting was done at one time.

    We can figure this out!

      Hiya jgshrop

      On page 3 of the instructions go to column headings & down column for explanation:

      Color is white/white on white.
      Cut to this size... has Two 5-1/2” squares.
      To make (finished size) ...1-1/2” HSTs.
      which will be used for the... 1-1/2” border HSTs.

      Cheers,

      Lou

        I saw that in the cutting directions, but don't see a foundation for it. I also don't see a colored fabric cut to the same size.

        jgshrop, I suggest that you just set those white blocks aside for now. I think the rest of the pieces will give you the required blocks for January.

        If, in fact, it needs to be dropped from the directions, we can take care of that.....and I thank you so much for pointing out the error.

          Thanks,

          Everything else fit perfectly. So I'll hold those 2 squares for later.

            Thanks for posting your findings jgshrop!

            Does everyone agree that those 5-1/2" background squares need to be deleted from the cutting list?

              hi Margo
              I have been busy sorting and cutting for both BOM's I am just about to sew. I have a question about the foundation on page 16 the last page of the directions. It says it makes 24 1 1/2" HST. My calculations adds up to six. Should that foundation be copied 4 times or does that happen latter in another month. i will hold off sewing this till I know what to do. thanks for stepping in and being our guide Margo. Rondie

                You are right, Rondie. Page 16 will only give you 6 HSTs.

                I did not use the paper-piecing foundations for my quilt, but maybe someone else can verify for us that those units will be used?

                  I received my star crazy quilt kit and the white on white background fabric is in three pieces. I'm worried about which piece to cut first. I don't want to mess up and not have enough fabric.

                    Terry, on page 2 of the Month 1 directions, Sue tells you what size to cut your long border strips. If you do that first, the rest of the pieces will be small enough that having your yardage in several pieces shouldn't be a problem.

                      Rondie,

                      I used the pages exactly as they are (no extra copies of any page) and it all came out just right.

                        Thanks Margo. I'm ready to start cutting the blocks for January. I've never used the forum before. It's nice to be able to talk to all the nice folks involved in this project.

                          I agree. I have not used the forum before. I will stay in touch with it for the BOM that is for sure. Thanks for the info.

                              I feel I need to finish 2008 and 2009 before I start anything new let alone two new quilts. I am saving all the directions.
