Here is the results of a quilt that was, in hindsite, way beyond my expertise level. Inset seams/LeMoyne Stars, what the hell was I thinking?!?! Well... I was thinking I wanted to make something "perfect" for one of my best friends, i.e. one of HER favorite blocks, doves in the window. So for her daughter's transition to twin bed-dom, I offered to make a quilt for the bed. I'd already made one for the newest addition to their family and since the girls share a room, I wanted to make the quilts match (fabric anyway...) Many google searches later, I found the pattern I wanted to reproduce. However, either the printing off on an inkjet or the actual instructions themselves are off... By enough that it makes a difference in overall size of quilt... Sigh... I even broke out some pythagorean theorem work to try to deduce just how much "off" it was... I settled for making all the diamonds 1/8" bigger to end up w/the 14" blocks. However, I didn't realize the sizing was off until after i'd already cut the squares and triangles?DOH>>> Oh well, after much groaning and complaining (sorry, Erin!!) I have a finished product that I'm actually not totally disappointed with... Just don't look too closely. HA!
