Looking at it I noticed the snowflakes are all messed up.... But after all every snowflake is unique and I will not redo....Guests are coming so the sewing room must be turned back into a guest room.

And NOTHING matches up. I've thrown all of them in the trash, and I think I'm gonna give it up. What a waste of fabric!

I think I may have different versions also when it comes to flags or pumpkins. So many countries and different cultures on QB ... :thumbup: Kind Regards, MaryAnna |

No, I went ahead and threw them all away. If I get motivated again, I'll either work out the math to do it the easy way, sewing the squares together, or maybe try it paper piecing. I KNEW better than to cut triangles, and really hesitated for a long time, which goes to show, when it just doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. |
gaigai,,,,I hope you get motivated to try it again...the snowflakes were the hardest so far...the hearts made up rather quickly and easiry - and the shamrocks were just as easy or even easier....just need to get the snowflakes behind you.....

Another Texan, About your snowflakes, don't snowflakes fall from the sky and twirl in the process? They look o.k., I am a fanatic when I think I've messed up and will redo so many times I turn silly. I just stumbled on to this mystry quilt while trying to find one I wanted earlier this evening, I printed one page of that and now I am frantically looking for the rest of the pattern. Anyway I have printed out the three months of patterns and I think I will join in the group. I try to get in on this quilting info and have been so pleased to get this site, I joined in Jan. and love it. So many interesting things going on here. I have a full plate and have planned to make, let's say planned again and hopefully make four quilts this year, three before Oct. our Fall Fair here in Pecos, Tx. Anyway Bill I am in, please keep us posted for the monthly patterns. I am a retired first grade teacher, but am doing four days a week math tutorials for 5th grade now at a local elem. and have been for the last five years now an I truly stay busy and may forget to check it out at first. I thought I would have oodles of time upon retirement, HA! HA! fooled myself, Anyway, I'm in Gerbie!
