Hi to all from Wheeling West Virginia, I'm new to the quilting scene but not to the sewing world...I have a pattern from a book "Easy Nine-Patch Quilting" house of White Birches 1998 calledStarry Nine-Patch Pillows says skill level (Beginner) mmph!When it comes to joining the units to make the block, wellllll...I cannot get it to work what am I doing wrong????? There are no directions to show you how to put the units together to form the block! Helpppp, anyone!!!!! How do you set it?

Thanks

Not sure where exactly you are having a problem ? Do you have the nine patches together ?

Hello and welcome from soggy southeastern Michigan! I pray for your son's safety.

Hi Irish- to be honest that pattern doesn't look like a beginner at all. The elongated triangles have to be set in to the stars :( If I were you I would do that part by hand. Actually so do the nine patches.
Prayers for your son :)

I totally Agree,too

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here. That does not look like a beginner pattern. Y seams and everything.

I think they have that mislabeled :cry: I do not consider Y seams a beginner pattern :roll: But that is what you need to put it together, And not very easily by machine .

OK I just went back and looked again . I think we can break it fown a bit and make it doable for you :thumbup:

After you have all the "sections" ready. Start with sewing on the Yellow sections. Start on the corner of the brown/red star ( pick one side ) and sew one side on , sew all the way . Then go to the other side and do the same. Do this for all 4 of them . Once those are all on then you should be able to go back and add on the 9 patches. For those also start in a corner and sew out, be sure to catch the yellow sections as you go. You can pin these together to make sure , you catch them .

Does this make sense ?

Welcome!

welcome
