Hello Pixi . Is it just the narrow rim round the centre star you have to redo or is it the Paper pieced star? I found it was very important to join the pages checking the squares to see that the joins were creating the correct size squares. Month 1 I found a lot of hard work and a bit of a worry, but since then it has been great. It was into February before I started at all and I felt the pressure but it is a great relief to only have the 3 blocks to do this month. I love the fabrics and I think it will make quite an elegant quilt. Good luck with yours.

Hi there - no I dont know your son and have asked my husband and he doesnt recognise the name either. Its a small world and stranger things have happened! I met someone here in the supermarket, and as I talked to her I was sure I had met her before - but after about half an hour of suggesting names and places, still no remembering where I had met her. And then as I was leaving and saying goodbye, I suddenly remembered who she reminded me of, and when I told her, she said that it was her sister! I hadnt seen this old friend of mine for 30 years, so recognizing the family resemblance was strange enough!

So now we go back to the Sedona Star - which so far hasnt gone together terribly well. But after dreaming about it for the last couple of nights I now know where I have gone wrong. Instead of fitting the pages together for the star outer border, using the grid lines, I cut the template out and then stuck it. Thats why it is slightly small for the star circle, and why it looks like a funny sunhat! So I will unpick it again and redo the outer border. Hope your Sedona Star is going well.

My husband is called Bill and is an engineer. There are lots of engineers here but it is a small world so who is your son?

Your husband wouldn't be an engineer working there would he? My son has a friend there called Bill!

Thank you very much for that - I will check and see. I live in the Middle East and I have to ship everything in and I am worried about the fabric not being available anymore!

Hi there. I can't accurately tell you about the amount of spare fabric available in the kits,but I found a whole range of the Rooster fabrics for sale on eBay. - from a UK seller .- mostly just FQs but enough to get me out of my predicament of making a cutting error. There certainly wasn't enough left in the kit fabric to accommodate my mistake. Good luck with yours. I am loving the way this quilt is progressing.

Hi - could you tell me if the fabric quantities in kit for the Sedona Star quilt are generous ie I have already made a mistake and need to cut more fabric for the centre of the quilt (not much - but I dont want to run out!) :oops:
