Nordic Sweater Quilt Pattern Clarification

Hello everyone!

While ever possible effort is made to thoroughly test my patterns, occasionally an errata occurs.  While I believe I have emailed everyone who purchased it with an updated copy, please email me or leave me a comment if you have received a copy and would like the updated PDF.



Thanks!

Shannon

FYI the errata was made in the cutting section of the Nordic Star Blocks.  It should read:

From the Red Fabric Cut:
Reserve the following for the Nordic Star Block:
·         Cut three strips measuring 4 7/8”” wide. Sub-cut these into 4 7/8” squares, yielding 24 squares. Cut these in half diagonally. You will need 48 triangles.
·         Cub 4 strips measuring 1 ½” wide. Sub-cut these into 12 red strips measuring 1 ½” wide by 15” long.
·         Cut 2 strips measuring 1 ½” wide. Sub-cut these into 6 red strips measuring 1 ½” wide by 9 ½” long.
·         Cut 2 strips measuring 1 ½” wide. Sub-cut these into 3 red strips measuring 1 ½” wide by 18 ½” long.
Reserve the following for sashing between the Nordic Star Blocks:
·         Cut 2 strips measuring 1 ½” wide. Sub-cut these into 4 red strips measuring 1 ½” wide by 18 ½” long.
From the White Fabric Cut:
For the Nordic Star block cut:
·         Cut three strip of white measuring 4 7/8” wide. Sub-cut these into 4 7/8” squares, yielding 24 squares. Cut these in half diagonally. You will need 48 triangles.

 The second bullet-point for both colors under the heading
For the Chevron Blocks:



·         Cut two strips measuring 7 ¼” wide.  Sub-cut these strips into 10 squares measuring 7 ¼”.  Sub-cut these squares diagonally into quarters to yield 30 triangles for the flying geese unit.   This will create a 6 ½” length triangle.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I know many of you love Moda Bake Shop--as I do and I would like to share that my Jelly Turnover Quilt was ranked this year!  It is Number 6!  Check it out!  How exciting!


My little girl just saw this image and said, "I like all those quilts!"  So, inspired  by the collage, I decided to make a collage of quilt patterns I wrote this year.  Thanks to PicMonkey--an online free photo editor--so I could make this collage.  Some of these quilts I don't even have anymore.  They were either gifted or sold.




Eye-Spy and Spinning Pinwheel Quilts

Diamond Jubilee and Ohio Starburst Layer Cake and Charm Square quilts (done in both sizes).

That's a pretty good list--10 quilts done.  They don't include 4 more I pieced this year but haven't quilted yet (one I can't show you yet due to an upcoming article).  Pretty good!  Perhaps my New Year's Resolution should be to quilt the top I have left to do.

So...what is your favorite style of quilt?  What would you like to see me design in 2015?

Have a great New Year!
