I think I saw that one in a book - can you tell us the name of the pattern/designer/publication? :)

You have one beautiful quilt there - love the colors on the top! And the quilting is gorgeous, too - congratulations! :)

The most challenging for all of us (beside terminology) is to have accurate/constant 1/4 inch seams. Plus our cutting needs to be accurate. Then we have to perfect our pressing, NOT ironing! Once these have been mastered, then our blocks should (hopefully) come out to be all the same size the pattern suggest.

BUT remember we are all not perfect. We also have learned to perfect the usage of seam rippers. :)


I am a newbie at quilting and have seen several comments on pressing NOT ironing.
Can you please explain the difference? Thanks

From one newbie to another - IMO - pressing is an up and down motion of the iron so as not to stretch or misshape the fabric, ironing is ironing/gliding over the fabric

The book is "Radiant Sunshine and Shadow: 23 quilts with nine-patch sparkle"
I don't know specifically which pattern of the 23 I used because they're all basically the same
Good luck and thank you!
