Thank you received: 16

I am confused. I think the directions are still incorrect. Fabric LT is the background color and F, OO, and O are the spikes of the star. There are 16 spikes and only three colors. That is not going to come out right, as I have discovered as I pieced my first star (or tried to) this afternoon. According to the picture on page 4 of the instructions, every other spike appears to be fabric F. By my count four Os, four OOs, and 8 Fs are required. That would require cutting 24 F pieces, not 12. Am I missing something?

Hi Lori and Ellen,

Re-reading the cutting instructions, it seams that I can't count. You are quite right - the cutting instructions do not give you the correct number of pieces to finish 3 stars. This is what it should read:

Fizz
O, OO and F are correct - you end up with 48 pieces, 16 for each block.
LT - you need to cut 3 strips and then 16 pieces from each strip

Buttons and Blooms
22017 RED1 and BRO1 - you need a total of 48 pieces, 24 of each. So cut 2 strips of each color.
22015 LTBEI1 - you need 16 pieces for each block, so cut 3 strips (not just the 1 specified).

Checking, double checking, triple checking and having someone else make the quilt to check the instructions apparently does not catch all mistakes. Sorry about that!
Sarah

eterry OFFLINE Posts: 12	That is the way I was reading it too. I think you have to have 24 of each A color and 48 of the B pieces. Thats for the buttons and blooms. On the other color way it looks like 16 of each A color and 48 of the B Piece. Is that what you come up with? ellen

LoriReid OFFLINE Posts: 215 Thank you received: 6	The way I am reading the cutting directions for the Buttons and Blooms fabric, I don't have enough rectangles to complete three stars. I am short on all three colors that are in the star. Lori

Hello Everyone,

I am loving seeing the photos of your quilts coming together with the month 2 blocks added to the month 1 blocks. It's going to be exciting for me to see what you all do with months 3, 4 and 5. You'll all be masters at stitching circles into holes by the end of month 5!!!

This topic is for any questions that you want an answer directly from me. But remember... there are tons of experienced quilters out there who have great answers, great ideas and great ways of doing things - that may be a little different to the way that I do things, and may even be better!

I hope you're all having fun with this BOM!
Sarah
