That's what I think, too. If we could just get our paws on a .pdf...

Hi, Marcia!



I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Right now I have hundreds of requests and I’m trying to get back to everyone as quickly as I can, but Fall Market and Festival just ended and I was “holding down the fort” while everyone was away. We are trying to figure out a way to get the patterns to everyone more quickly based on how much time is involved with copying and mailing patterns. As soon as I know what we can do, I will get back to you. We will honor all requests we receive.



Again, I apologize for the delay.



Sincerely,

Tricia Camp

Editorial Assistant

McCall’s Quilting/Quick Quilts

Did you end up getting the pattern in the end? Is it a .pdf? That would've been so much easier for them...

Exactly! That would solve all our problems...

Why buy it? I drafted my own. Because it is PP it was super easy to draft and make. My angles may not be exactly the same and I opted for 4 tiers in my trees instead of the 3 on the Jeweled forest blocks I have seen. By drafting my own I could make it the exact size I needed. Here is where I used it, the pine trees on the sides. I also drafted the top and bottom trees too:

What a fabulous quilt! I'm too dumb to draw my own so look like I'll be giving McCall's $7!

Why do you insult yourself like that? I just bought some graph paper that had 1/4" squares on it and counted squares then used a ruler and drew a line. It is NOT rocket science and involved no math. You should try it you may surpirse yourself.
