Month two is finally finished on my Christmas BOM. The lattice border was a challenge since I chose not to use paper, but an extra seam here and there made everything fit. The bigger challenge was figuring out how to arrange them for a scrappy look. I had them all arranged and was numbering them for sewing when I realized I had 9 across instead of 8! So after removing 2 of them I had to rearrange again and I'm not sure I got them perfect but they will have to do. If I'd known I'd made the extra ones I would have left some of the red pieces out. The checkered border that replaced the slat border and the floaters were sewn together first to make one unit then mitered. That was a challenge too. I marked the miters first from the front then sewed a basting stitch so I could see how far to sew on the back and keep the squares lined up in the corners. This quilt now measures 16" finished. Now to find time to do the mini quilt which will measure 8".

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Tammy, it looks great! And isn't it great that we are all learning how to make thing fit together even if they don't come out to the right mathematical size!! A couple of seams pinched in, blocking with steam and/or starch or compensating with different floaters. We can make it all look wonderful!

All done!
Wow, that lattice border was harder than I expected! I thought I was taking a perfect 1/4 in seam and my first border turned out 25 1/8" instead of 24 1/2"!
I guess I was taking a perfect scant 1/4"!
Not a big deal, just went back and pinched each seam in by a smidge and it came out at a perfect 24 1/2"
I am making this one for my MIL, she loves roses and LOVES yellow, she got here yesterday, literally 5 minutes after I finished sewing on the last border. She is loving it!

Linny,

The best thing to do is contact tech support through our contact page so we can work directly with you:
[url]contact[/url]

First thing I would do is like John said, reload Adobe Reader and make sure to reboot and try again.
Also, if you are on a slow or poor quality internet connection, the speed fluctuates and can cause there is packet loss which will cause the .pdf file not to be loaded properly into your browser. Make sure your wireless connection is strong.

If you've been able to access the other BOM .pdf files, then either something changed in your computer environment or

Contact tech support directly if you cannot get it working.

Linnyt OFFLINE Posts: 41	Margo, I can't seem to view your additional instructions for block 2. It seems I'm having a problem with Adobe today. Does this information exist anywhere else on the web so I could look at it? Linny T

I found out that I have issues on getting my seam allowances 1/4 inch. Since I have been using metric system on my quilting for a long time and inches only for a few years, I have to pay attention to it all time. I have a walking foot on my sewing machine, and it is closest to 1/4 inch, but in this project one must be extra careful. Since my seam allowance was a little too small, I used only two of my strip sets, actually there was no other problem, (and I am already planning on something with left over strip set...). I used squares on corners (as Margo suggested) to avoid mitered corners.

Your slat border looks great! And the corners are a nice touch!

If you want some tips to figure out your 1/4" seam allowance you might want to try my "TEST": http://good-times.webshots.com/album/569415726bHNKHF
