Haven't decided on a finished. The points are going to be chopped. I hate that. Probably will be a UFO. Liked the ride. Just having difficulty with the finish.

I haven't trimmed it yet, but it looks to me like a couple of my points will also be chopped. Did anyone else have this issue? I am going on a quilt retreat this weekend and I plan on finishind it there.

Anoka, I've studied the photos...and maybe it's just us...not sure how to make it better. I'm sure not ripping with the bias edges, but this is an area I need help with, it looks like. Maybe someone will come up with a solution for you this weekend. Love this pattern, though!

Anoka and coopah, it may be too late for this project, but I used to have the same problem whenever I set my blocks on point. Now I avoid that by cutting the setting triangles at least 1/4" larger than called for. More than likely I will cut them 1/2" larger and "float" the blocks.
|
Per Evie, I am a great fan of cutting a tad larger and cutting down to the perfect size. I've read all the hints about the perfect 1/4 inch, scant quarter inch etc but its just easier for me to have that little extra for a fudge factor.

All of your tops are nice. I cant get my pic's out of my camera:thumbdown: I need to see if my SIL can take the chip and get them for me. Looks like I need a new camera :(

Hey Emma, Made it home before the big snow storm over Hood.

Roma: Good! Heard the Cascades are really getting blasted. Have some friends visiting ID, a little worried about them getting through the pass. Glad your home safe.

Evie, thank you for this suggestion as I had the same problem. I love this pattern and will make it again.

One of the nicest things about this pattern is how easy it is to adjust it to any size you need! After jclinganrey (on post #887) showed her quilt, I knew what to do with the 10 inch Harley Davidson blocks that I made out of some scarves. Here is what I did with them.
