Hi all,

Thanks for your patience while we checked out the pattern. This is the suggestion made by our pattern writer:
The top left curl of the N is perhaps a hair larger than the one on Janet's quilt in the picture. You do need to make sure the bottom left curl snugs up against the basket, and you also need to make sure that you have an accurate 1/4" seam allowance when joining the 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" square to the basket block. If it were me, I'd simply trim the top left curl a little to make it fit.

Hmmm... I have a general question about the pattern and maybe I missed this from earlier correspondence. You mention pattern writer in your note. Did Janet write the instructions for the BOM or did someone else write it based on looking at Janet's quilt?

anne1 OFFLINE Posts: 895 Thank you received: 103	Here is what I decided to do...I added the extra star to balance it I hope this photo comes out OK. The orange is a piece of card cut to size to make it more obvious in the photo. Anne

anne1 OFFLINE Posts: 895 Thank you received: 103	I've been looking at the "Show and Tell" finished blocks and they seem OK maybe someone could tell us how they did it. I notice Margo's are OK. I've printed off 3 of the N letters and will cut them up to see if I can make it fit. The annoying thing is that I have already cut out the letter N from my fabric. Anne

anne1 OFFLINE Posts: 895 Thank you received: 103	I too am having a problem with the N initial, it's too big and comes over the basket handle. Surely someone in the writing of this pattern should have noticed this error. It's really frustrating Anne

There must be something wrong with the pattern. The printed letter "N" measures 5" x 7-1/2". The background measures 7-1/2" x 7-1/2".
If you look at Julie's video at 1:07, you will see that the letter is smaller than the background. Even if it should overlap on the block, there will not be enough room at the right.

I'll wait for other comments/revision before I begin the "half-size" process...
