I haven't gotten this far yet, but I see a real problem developing as ALL the edges appear to be bias in this step. I wonder if the inset pieces should be sewn to the outer circle with triangles first, and then sewn onto the main body? I see that being problematic and difficult to do, but maybe would not be so stretchy. When I get this far, I will starch the heck out of the inset pieces in an effort to control the bias edges.This is one reason I am holding back - want to see where all the problems are and how you solve them.

Same problem but larger space. After a lot of rereading instructions and counting triangels everything should have worked. I checked my foundation template and found the grid to be off by 1/4 inch. My printer had scaled the pattern down. I reprinted the foundation to fill in the space with more triangles but could not get the printer to duplicate the mistake so ended up tracing the foundation by hand. Luckly I had not cut out the 9 large filler pieces as that template was off also. All in good now and I am ready for October.

Hi Ladies, just finished watching the video for mo. 9 and nothing was mentioned about the triangle circle, however, I did notice on the quilt in the background and the picture of the quilt in the beginning month and there are 8 triangles in-between the inset, and they are lined up with the points of the insets as they meet around the quilt. Looks like I will be frogging for awhile, rats!!! Oh well, what else does a retired lady have to do?

Susie - Don't panic. A well-known Appliquer's mother once told her, "Elly, there ain't nothing so wrong that it can't be fixed." I have to tell you that I too had a problem with the "triangle ring". I had pinned almost all of the ring to the quilt and lo and behold I was about 8" short. I fixed the problem by piecing another triangle template and pinned it in place and as of right now, I've sewn about 1/2 of the ring on and it looks like everything is going to fit. But of course, next months corner units may be another issue. Hopefully not. Good luck and keep plugging along.

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Sorry to hear you're in a pickle. If you've come this far, I'm sure you'll figure it out. Things always work out in the end, and if they haven't worked out yet,...it's just not the end yet! Breathe. Count to 10. There, hope that helps. If I lived closer, I could help you. I feel for you, sistah; I've been there, done that, but it was a diamond border
