Update on Candlequilter Star Block quilts
#91
Mine wouldn't lay flat at first either but once it was sewed & I took the paper off for some reason it all worked out & pressed flat. Maybe you are all stopping too soon. I know I was about to.
This is terrible... but I"m relieved to hear someone else had problems.. I have scrapped my block so many times!!! I can't get it to come out... I'm going to try and get some fusible and see if I can make one that way... I just can not get it to come out.. it is either off or will not lay flat... grrrrrrrrr
I'm still trying!@!!I LOVE this pattern.. I really want to learn it.. but It's gotten to the point DGH is threatening me with a bar of soap for my mouth!!! sigh...... don't give up on me!
I"m in the same boat! After several attempts, I can't get it to lay flat...I will send other blocks this week.

I am sorry for any inconvience that this has caused you.

Hi. I would like to see the pattern and know what size block you need. I am confined to bed a lot waiting for surgery so this will give me something to do. I can cut the pieces and sew it while I am in bad. Marvel in Ok.

i found if I make several of the pattern pieces then lay them out i can see how the opposite one is to look. i just had too many of the one direction and none of the other direction. just take your time and try it again. i believe i just might have it figured out. good luck ladies.

I am so sorry that so many have not sent their blocks. I was unable to complete a block from the pattern. I am a very new quilter and had never done paper piecing. Boy did I learn my lesson. Perhaps I can talk one of the instructers at Joanns to have a class in paper piecing and I can eventually do your pattern. But I did send a different block for the fall colors about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Hope that you received it. :?
