Frustrated with quilt
I am new to the board and have dabbled in quilting for a few years, nothing major. For the past year or so I have been doing more.
The current quilt I am working on has left me total frustrated. The pattern is from Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting Sept/Oct 2012. The name of the quilt is called Links (page 16 if anyone has this magazine). It is made using the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star (I even bought the special acrylic tool it called for)
I followed the pattern instructions making the stars to a T, even double checking my work. The large stars came out at 11" square (suppose to be 9" finished) and the small star came out at 8" (suppose to be 6" finished). If I cut them down to the finished size then I will cut the tips of the stars off.
I precut all the fabric for this quilt. Now I have the star squares that are too big and all the fabric I cut that is too small. I feel like I have wasted time and money and not sure how to fix it.
HELP!
