I've made several ybr quilts and if i can do it, anyone can. I looked at that link and under the "tips", it said stitches should be 1/8 inch or less? Did I understand that correctly? Well, DON'T.

My favorite FQ free pattern is called The Gift Quilt by Vicki Welsh. I am not sure if I am allowed to put up a link here but you will find it easily from google. Much easier than YBR.

I'm with Dina. I love the Double Slice pattern from MSQC. I have made a dozen or more and plan to make lots more.

Like several others I too hated the yellow brick road pattern. I just couldn't make it work out and the directions were confusing to me, a beginner quilter. One of the first quilts I made. I think you can google free baby quilts and find an easier and better looking one for sure. Good luck with your project.

I sent you a PM.

it says STITCHES, not seam width.

YBR question
 

Can a layer cake be used for the yellow brick road patter instead of fat quarters

Good morning Renee. If I remember the pattern correctly (and it has been a long time) it doesn't have any pieces larger than 10" but you need to look at the cutting directions and be sure. If there are some larger than about 8 1/2" I would say you shouldn't try to use the layer cake without another coordinating piece to cut the larger sizes from. The pattern is such a hodge-podge of sizes so maybe that would work. Just be sure to check on the finished sizes for each piece. Good luck with it!

Maureen, you are not alone. The quilt was easy but the directions were not easy to follow.

I have the YBR pattern and have studied it and studied it but cannot figure out how to cut the fabrics. It says it is for a beginner and I have been quilting for a long time but still find the pattern very confusing. So I put the pattern back in my pattern bin. Need someones help please.
