Right Karen G. if I had never found Bonnie Hunter, I probably never would have used those easy angle rulers I just had to by way back when - just because they were on sale, or I had a coupon or something...

Brooke, such an endearing photo of your little one, You need to frame that.
Do I spy a bottle tree on the wall between your windows? Cobalt Blue glass is my downfall.

Thanks to SueSew I have managed to start on the 2nd block and am really chuffed how the centres line up so perfectly, I like the learning curve on this quilt I hadn't expected so much.

I really need help!! This is my first BH quilt. I have been sewing for a while and have made a few quilts but so help me, I cannot get the points to line up for the step 2 blocks. I am trying the strip method, was meticulous with the sewing & cutting, everything measured right but the points DO NOT MATCH!!! I cut all 3 strips at 2" each. What in the world am I doing wrong. I'm ready to give up. Thanks for any advice ( I have the ruler ordered but don't have it yet)

mom2boyz, I think your strips should be 2 1/2" not 2".

2" is right for the strips. I would check the angle you are cutting the subunits- and size of subunits-should be 2 1/2".

Strips to be cut need to be 2.5" so that the square they will become finishes at 2"

I received the news last evening that my brother was killed last night in an accident with a semi log truck while responding to a house fire. I worked for several hours after getting the news on Clue #1 blocks. It was very good therapy for me. Soothing to my soul. This will certainly be a quilt to remember.

My heart goes out to you at this tragic time, I understand working on your quilt, quilting has got me over many a bad time in my life and for pain therapy it is second to none. Keep strong for the family big hugs (((((AlvaStitcher)))) from over the pond.
