Wonderful project and I know our Sew Happy Quilters in Chilton Trinity near Bridgwater are planning a work day to make quilts.

That’s a wonderful thing to do Amy.x

That’s really lovely Gini. Such a kind gesture. Beautiful quilt. I too have made many new friends through the site, one who in particular lm sure will be a lifetime friend.

Gorgeous xx

That is super.

I wholeheartedly agree with this Chris! As I often say (because my mum used to see it) – a blind man would be glad to see it! Also – better finished than perfect. I’ve got a couple of BOMs that I’m working on – including Gravity, and I will get Jack out if it is too far out, but slightly out (if it all goes together) is good enough for me!

This is such a great article…….I’m very much a beginner patchwork and quilter, and one of my many unpickers (I have invested in a few!) seems to be permanently attached to my hand! I’m loving my journey though and my quilt is for me – “mistakes” and all!

Nice review. I have a question please – I think u have seen this used in a video previously, and felt that there seemed to be a lot of fabric wastage. Did you find this, or were the left over pieces usable? Thanks.

Having made a sample piece and I’m now in the middle of making a Christmas wreath using this template, I also want to warn people to make sure they use the right side of the template. Also be very careful with your cutting. I find the cutting slots too long – if you’re not careful you can go too far with your rotary cutter and cut into the squares around the one you’re cutting. Try to only cut around the square shape marked on the template and barely go into the ‘teardrops’ at each end of the cut slot.
Another pointer is to use a 28mm rotary cutter – I find it so much easier – I think the blade must be thinner .

Thanks so much for this Amy. I’ve just bought one and about to try my first practice. There’s a free pattern on June Tailor’s website too, so that’ll be my first proper go.
I’m going in! 🙂

Just stunning.p
