Can you please tell me the size of the purple square in the middle please.
Goodness, Karen, I can’t believe what I did! I mislabeled the fabric cuts on this quilt block. Instead of the White 3 1/4″ square it should’ve been a Purple 3 1/4″ square. I’ve corrected it on my blog post and now have given you the correct size of the cut to make. I sure hope that you can now put this quilt block together, but if you’re still having a problem with it, please use my contact form (found in the menu bar just below my header), and let me know!
Many thanks for letting me know. I sort of thought it may of been as the only ONE square of that size but wanted to make sure. Love your blocks.
Regards
Karen.
Awww, shucks. Thanks for the compliment! I’m just doing what I wanted, when I started quilting 35+ years ago, and that is access to quilt block patterns that didn’t break the bank!
I must apologise it does work out. I must of been reading my ruler wrong. Will keep finishing the block. Thanks.
No need to apologize, Karen! When it comes to cutting out quilt blocks, it’s a very precise measurement & we expect it to fit together as planned. And when it doesn’t, the first thing that we think of doing, is to notify the creator of the quilt block to see if they’ve done something wrong. If you need further assistance, please use my contact form & I’ll be able to give you one-on-one help.
