HelenW asked me to check the math on the Holiday Pattern. It is correct.

What is NOT correct is the front page that says Block size 6". No, the Star Blocks are 15" FINISHED.
The Half Square Triangles are 1.25" FINISHED. That means they are 1.75" when made, BEFORE being sewn into the block.
6 x 1.25" = 7.5". The corners are CUT 4.25" so they FINISH to 3.75". 7.5" + 3.75" = 3.75" = 15" FINISHED, 15.5" raw edge to raw edge.
All of the Sashing measurements are correct as printed.

The OTHER PROBLEM is that the Appliques ARE THE CORRECT SIZE--the measurements printed on them are NOT CORRECT. The Square SHOULD FINISH AT 1 5/8" AS IT DOES, the Berry SHOULD FINISH AT 1.25" AS IT DOES---it is just the NUMBERS THAT ARE INCORRECT. Change the 1" square to 1 5/8", the Berry to 1 1/4" and all is fine.

I will let Alex know.

Barbara Black,
Please take a look at the Holiday Quilt pattern. It looks like there might be a few printing errors. After the appliques printed out the wrong size for me, I
started looking at the actual pattern. On the page for Quilt Assembly, the top border is listed at 4 1/4 " which is probably a printing error. The corner boxes
in the blocks are 4 1/4". I think the top border should be 6 1/2 " like the other 3 borders. HelenW

I read thru it and I did not see any more errors. Thank you TQS for giving us the free pattern.

Out of curiosity, I printed it and sure enough it was not the correct size when I printed at actual size 100% on my HP printer. I measured it and calculated that if I printed at
62% of original size the 1" block would actually be 1". The circle then came out at 1" and the holly leaf was 2 3/8+ from point to point. I took screen shots to show it. HelenW
Could be that the pattern wasn't scanned into Quilters Select at actual size.

I printed the pattern for the Holiday Quilt at 100%. After printing the applique page, the square that should have measured 1" was measured at approximately 1 3/4". I reprinted at 60% of the original size and the square measured 1" as it should have. However, the circle for the holly berry also measured 1", but should have measured 1 1/4" in diameter. I had to reprint at 75% from the original size to have the circle measure 1 1/4". What measurement should the holly leaf be? It is not marked on the pattern.
