Topic: Month 2 Correction Block 5 (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey along America’s backcountry roads as we bring you "The Patchwork Barn Quilt," a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Edyta Sitar. A spectacular medallion quilt featuring a barn nestled amongst rows of ‘crops’ (blocks). Edyta’s design inspiration was the result of observing the painted quilt blocks on the side of barns as she traveled across the country.

Known for her love of colorfully elegant scrap quilts, Edyta has this time, used her magic touch by combining a wide variety of blue and cream fabrics set against a creamy background. The resulting design is a stunning, but quieter scrap quilt that is sure to be a family favorite for generations to come. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns.

Judy, I'm sorry, I don't know what is causing that. You could try using another computer or asking a friend to use their computer, logging in as you, to see if they can download Month 2. That would at least let you know if the issue is at your computer or something else.

Customer service will also want to help you--hopefully, you'll hear from them soon--if not, please let me know here and I'll make sure they see this.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Draw a 6" square on paper. Working backwards is a good plan. Place the first line at 3" at the top and draw a diagonal to a 3" mark on the left side, then the 3" mark on the bottom and right sides. Keep going in from there. You need to remember you need a 1/4" seam allowance around the outside of the 6" square but the lines have to start and end at the edges of the 6" finished size of the block.

Help! I am having a terrible time trying to get this message written. Here goes, again:

I have made Block 5 using Edyta's instructions. It didn't not come out the correct size.
I thought I would try your suggestions. I, do not, however, have the EQ software. I then
have tried to draw this block on paper. I started with a 6-1/2" square on the paper. I decided
to try and draw it working backwards. I have put dot on each line indicating the middle (which
should be 3-1/4"). When you measure from say the West line to the South line (diagonally) it
measures a lot more than 3-7/8" as indicated on the written instructions. Can you give me
a clue as to how to draw this????? My husband and I are both stymied.
Thanks so much for any suggestions you can give me!
Lana

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	You can try using a narrow seam allowance first. If your block is 6.5" unfinished, you're fine. OR just recut the last triangles as I mentioned below, to get 6.5" unfinished block.

Block 5, the Square in a Square in a Square, needs a size correction:

Step 2, Unit B, will be 4.75" unfinished, not 4.5". Cut C squares 3" or larger for those half-square triangles.

I didn't catch this because I paper pieced these blocks so just cut everything bigger.

IF YOU ALREADY TRIMMED Unit B to 4.5", simply cut the D squares 4-4.5", add them and trim the finished block to 6.5". Your center square will "float" just a bit, no problem.
