I'm sorry I wasn't clear. The free pattern is for the Trade Winds quilt. It uses 2 1/2" strips. I purchased the Judy Niemeyer paper piece pattern.
Thank you for the ironing board ideas. I am going to try adding several layers of batting to see if I can create a smooth surface for pressing. One pad and cover was not enough to do the trick.
You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind comments.
