That is the same as the PDF.

The numbers in the left hand corner layout are the pattern piece numbers, not the order in which they are put together.

I looked at it and it is under free patterns, it is called Devonshire

I think the numbers on the pieces are the way you sew it together. I am not positive but I did a few blocks that way for some other patterns and they came out fine. Try it! :)

Is it Devonshire you want to make? Hit on her free patterns and it is in the advanced section.

As it is an "Advanced" quilt pattern, perhaps someone thinks no instructions are necessary. If I wanted to make that quilt, I'd download the PDF, cut out the pattern pieces and experiment with them to see if I could figure out how they go together. I like to do that sort of thing ... it's like putting puzzle pieces together. Aside from that, I have absolutely no suggestions for you.

okay i just looked at the picture instructions the way they have the lay out is you start in the middle work up 1 left and put the right hand peices together then the left or if you click on the download pfd it shows you the layout

There is a link to a video demonstration of how to do this block. It is a simpler version than Jinny Beyer's block, but may help you with the general idea. Apart from the foundation piecing of this block, called "Crossed Canoes" or "Crossed Shuttles", it is sometimes called "Dragonfly Block". Here is the link to the video of how to piece it: http://www.quiltblocklibrary.tv/tag/...s-quilt-block/ If you analyse the block carefully, you will see that it is only a four patch block.

Here would be great!

I haven't had time to try it out yet, as I have furniture to paint in the garage before the temps are too low...we're dangerously close to freezing at night. Grrrr...

Thank you.

It may be an advanced block, but instructions on how to put it together from the website would still be nice. LOL I've been sewing for 35 years, but only doing quilts for a few. I'm not a visual person, though, and looking at the pattern for quite a long time just threw me.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

RB:how would you do this?

Go to the site for Jenny, click on free patterns, click on Devonshire (pattern name), click on download PDF and instructions will come up. At least they did for me. That is a very interesting and complicated block but I would like to try it sometime, maybe after finishing holiday wall hangings for sale at a bazaar. Good luck and let us know if you figure it out.

Remember that Jinny Beyer is a hand piecer, so she might approach the block slightly different than a machine piecer.

My foremost suggestion would be to pay attention to that "advanced" in the corner. If you are an advanced quilter then feel good about jumping right in. But if you have some hesitation, I would suggest trying part of it first before jumping into buying all the fabric and looking at it as a "whole". While I am an Advanced seamstress (make wedding gowns etc) and my knowledge is pretty far along when it comes to quilting, I would never try something as daunting as that; mainly because at some point I would become discouraged because I couldn't do it "perfectly" and then would turn it into a UFO.

I'm a graphic person and love paper piecing and jigsaw puzzles. If I were making this block, I'd paper piece it as shown in the diagram attached. As I said before, I'd do the block (6, 8, 8, 5, 4) then do the (3, 3, 2 star point).

catmcclure...
I love the way you put this one together....I also love paper piecing........this does look like a really fun project..

Yeah, it does look like fun, but most of the design (the star points) depends on Jinny's fabric.

Like I said, print out all the templates, trim and tape, and print out a paper piece project. Or, if you're like me, pull the templates into photoshop and make a paper piece project.

catmcclure, thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

Part of my problem has been that I can only look at the diagram in the upper left corner on the PDF page ONLINE, since that PDF (and the TIFF) won't print properly from my printer. The pattern pieces come out "OK", needing some line gaps filled in, but the diagram at the top doesn't print out at all. Having to look at it online, without being able to draw triangles, etc. around the pieces to figure out it's construction, has been very difficult. Will have to get to my SIL's to print it out.

As for it being an advanced block...to me there is no advanced, just more time consuming, and more attention needed to detail.

I would probably try foundation piecing this one. Beautiful block but looks intimidating, as does most of Jinny Beyer's stuff, at least to me!

You're welcome. However, as far as it being "advanced", that's to warn new quilters that it's going to take time, energy and possible ripping out. Also, Jinny is someone who hand quilts and doesn't have much sympathy for the rest of us who do not. Therefore, when she says "advanced", to me it means "if you don't hand piece, then this block will be a PITA."

Yes, you are right. I would do exactly the same. Gail

LOL We think alike. I have done hand piecing, and I will defeat that "must be hand pieced" attitude. :thumbup:

Go to the site and click on the name of the quilt, I found it right away. It is a free pattern.

I am glad some one was kind enough to help you. I found this answer while trying to figure out how to do it. This looks to be the answer you seek.

About four or five years ago I spent an inordinate amount of money on the block kits for the original Moonglow (my LQS had moved about ten years ago and had just "found" the kits in the back room). As you can see from my Avatar, I have some skill in piecing (made my own pattern for this B/W), but I still do not have that quilt put together - still have blocks that are cut, but not pieced. There are a couple of blocks that, if you don't hand piece them - well, it's that old "you can't get there from here" thing going on.

I think it requires paper piecing. The numbers in the template diagram are the order the pieces are sewn together. I ran into the same problem recently with a pattern and after going to a quilt shop found out what the numbers were for in the template. There were 29 pieces for each block but after realizing what I needed to do, it went really quickly.

Well, with a printer that really doesn't want to co-operate, and a website that doesn't want to include instructions, and the wonderful assistance of you helpful quilters, I have some success. Last night I ended up cutting and piecing a paper copy of the "block" on the site. It didn't quite fit together properly, was something like 11 1/4", and way more complicated than necessary. First, the #1 centre square is in two pieces, for no apparent rhyme or reason (to me). Second, #3 triangle is just #7 split in two, so that Jinny could bookmark match one of her border fabrics. Not necessary for me. So off I went hunting for a Crossed Canoes pattern, to compare. Voila!, a 6 inch block. Took me all of 10 minutes to alter it to the "Jinny" block, to be paper pieced in three sections, then joined to each other in two nice, straight seems. No hand piecing needed. LOL

Thanks to all of you with your suggestions and instructions.

(numbers don't correspond to piecing order...was after midnight and I was oh, so sleepy LOL)

What a smart cookie you are. glad you will be able to make it. :thumbup:

If you look at Jinny's quilt patterns, almost every pattern works out to be 11-1/4. That seems to be one of her quirks.

If you have a design wall you can put the pieces up and check with the quilt design to see if it is correct.

I don't know if this got mentioned before, but Miss Jenny hand stitches all of her quilts.
Rotary cutting and strip piecing has not prepared us for those items that really need more care and time.
Also, because it is hand stitched, there are things she can accomplish that you just won't be able to accomplish without doing it by hand. <wave>
