I have to say that I LOVE your jelly bean block though and I'm still in love with your Mr. Bear quilt. I love seeing your progress with it. I found the pattern at my local embroidery store but have yet to buy it because I'm in the middle of a never ending red work quilt.Jsoosayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423868392982587800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-47683494077850377442012-03-11T11:29:06.242-07:002012-03-11T11:29:06.242-07:00I don't blame you for wanting to make that qui...I don't blame you for wanting to make that quilt - its gorgeous, but Woooeeee! That would make me madder than an old wet hen after all the trouble you went through. I hope that the designer gets back to you and sets things right.

You are a very talented quilter, and I am sure you can figure out how to make this, even without proper measurements.

I got mine at a garage sale for pretty cheap, but when I looked at the directions = oy! it seemed very confusing. <br />I do like the quilt you are going to do, though.

I'll skip it for now. I have enough frustrations in my life.

Something I never used. If you'd like I can find out if she will use it and if not send what ever there is to you.<br /> Glad to see you on blocklotto. I've been a member for at least 2 years and love it. I joined purposely to help use up my scrap stash figuring whether I win or not I'm happy to get that bin under control! I've won many times! But slacker that I am, I have't put anything into a quilt yet. I have stopped doing swaps of anykind telling myself this is the year I make something with all those swap blocks etc...but blocklotto is exempt from that restriction 'cause I'm using it up in the long run! :) Welcome!

That is really irritating! But don't...Barbara,<br />That is really irritating! But don't give up hope. I have five of those Jodi Barrows books, so checked to see if there was an option 20 in any of them. Nope. I have no idea why I bought that ruler and all those books. I guess the pictures caught my eye. At any rate, I decided I would probably never use her method because it was such a waste of fabric! I know I've had that ruler for at least 15 years, because that's how old the newsletters she sent out are. I saved those for the corrections to the instructions in the books. That is a pretty quilt. Believe me, you do not need the instructions on how to make it. Do you have EQ7? You can draw all the blocks yourself, and use your normal method to construct them. If you still want to use her method, put out a call for the book you need. You can also try the Yahoo group sewitsforsale. I bet someone can help you. Good luck.

One of our shops here sells the square-in-a-square stuff, so if you don't get any answers, perhaps I could find out some answers for you? I'd be happy to quiz them about it for you. I've never done that technique so afraid I can't help :( On a brighter note, I love your completed blocks! And I know your swap partner will love hers!

The jellybean fabric is so cute! Perfect with your bright solids.<br />3. The quilt is gonna be totally worth it no matter which option you use to make squareinasquare. Just look a all the different blocks- log cabins, applique and all those cool stars. I hope the designer solves the problem quickly for you.<br />Enjoy the rest of your Home Alone time.make.share.givehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576370591210075243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-52011994572918209032012-03-10T16:39:54.658-08:002012-03-10T16:39:54.658-08:00P.S.

I think if it happened to me I would have thrown it in a corner and never looked at it again.... <br />But I must say it IS a beautiful pattern. <br />Bit absurd also that a pattern needs so much additional purcheses. <br />I hope the designer contacts you. Keep us informed. <br />Have a good weekend, sing some more to decrease your bloodpressure, works all the time!
