Each year our guild send quilts to either deployed or wounded soldiers. Here are two that will go overseas. They are both scrappy and a lot of fun to to do. Has anyone made the second one? Please don't look close the points don't all meet. Can't understand cuz I took such care to get the fabrics lined up, one time they are perfect and the next way off. Maybe you can tell me what I did wrong - because I would like to make another one someday. Thanks.

Peg, these are wonderful!

From where I set in Louisiana they look wonderful to me:)

I really like them.

Look good to me. I am not quite sure what the problem was but I have trouble too with squares being not really SQUARE!
Part of my problem is that my seams are not always EXACTLY 1/4 inch! But another explanation might be the fact that fabric cut the width of the fabric stretches more than fabric cut along the edge (selvege). I really think this contributes to blocks varying in accurate measurements. It simply CANNOT be only my fault!!! Happy Quilting.

Love them!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great job!! Very pretty!!!

terrific Quilts.

They are both beautiful and will be appreciated so much. I failed to see anything wrong with the second quilt and I'm sure the recepient will feel the same way.

Well Grandma Peg they look perfect to me. Who needs points anyway!

Very nice quilts. I can't see the problem.

I think they are both gorgeous. Rather than worrying about seams matching, next time make your strips different widths so they intentionally are not supposed to match.

Looks good to me, they won't care about points, will just love to get them. Maybe they seams aren't a consistent size. Just a thought.

I love them - especially the second one. I'm not sure though that I understand what was supposed to be wrong with it?? Looks great to me, and I am sure it will look great to the lucky recipient too.

Wonderful!!!

Totally cool!!

These are so beautiful. I did not see where the points are not lined up. Good job.

Their great and I'm sure they will be appreciated!

They are both beautiful.

I love these quilts. They are beautiful. I recently made a quilt with a similar pattern block. I pinned the two halves of the block together at the center, matching the seams, before I sewed them together. If the outer edge of the block was off, I could fudge that, but at least the centers were matched. Hope this helps.

Great job I can tell you from a Military wife they will be greatly appreciated.

Beautiful

VERY NICE THANKS FOR SHARING MAUREEN

Love them both!

very nice!

These are wonderful quilts! Did you use a walking foot? That is a lot of bulk to deal with and line up seams.

They look wonderful to me...

I love that you take the time to do this and I can't see a thing wrong with either of them. Beautiful. Our guild does Quilts of Valor and my Project Linus group does Snowball Express for children who's parents are serving or lost their lives fighting for our country. Thank you.

Lookin' good but this thread is from May.
