Chubby Chick Quilt trying to kill me
#11
Oopsy...this photo is not mine, it is a stock photo for that pattern...sorry. I included it hoping that it would clarify my issue.
I vaguely remembered reading a comment about this part of the pattern and the person said something about them being set in "prairie point"
I have no idea what that means.
So far I have joined 8 of the 32...I started sewing the bottom 1/2 inch that I am having trouble with first...if it is lined up properly then I sew the rest...if not then I only have to rip/curse through 1/2 inch.
this is the first thing in quilting that I am finding that I truly dislike....sad. Time for wine and tomorrow is another day.

Can you post a pic of what is happening? The quilt is darling and the FG will be sooo cute!!

For the FG they had me cut 3.5 inch green squares and 3.5X6.5 inch rectangles...I put a square on the end, sewed a diagonal line and cut the excess...lather, rinse repeat....
By PP do you mean Prairie Point?
So much to learn...

I have to make a lot. She's right - that method is very accurate
Edited to add: Forgot to say how much I like that quilt!

Yes Reeves...Flying geese and Praire Points are 2 totally different things. FG are usually stacked 1 on top of another when used in borders. Praire Points are usually attached to the outside edge of the quilt by sewing them together side by side (after folding the triangles), then you sew the "bottom edge" to the outside edge of the quilt. You might want to use the "search" feature on this board for the Praire Points to see what we are talking about.
Figuring out which of these you need to do will help us sort it out with you..:D:
