QN Corrections

Pattern Corrections

At Quilters Newsletter, our goal is to catch any inconsistency before the magazine pages go to print, but once in a while something slips by even our eagle eyes! Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by our error.

Fiddler's Wife,
QN October 2007, No. 396

In the Skill Builder, Face the Music, the text referring to Fig. 1 should instruct you to pin the interfacing to the right side of the top of a petal with the fusible side away from the petal. We regret any inconvenience our error may have caused.

Isotaupe,
QN July/August 2007, No. 394

There was an error in the materials and cutting box with the pattern for Wendy Hill's Isotaupe, which appeared in our July/August 2007 issue (#394). You will need to cut 358 A's from taupe prints, not 179 A's as listed. The yardage, however is correct as printed.

Your Own Lone Star,
QN July/August 2006, No. 384

The Lone Star templates given on page 27 of the July/August 2006, No. 384 issue of QN are incorrect. Please use the templates given here.

There was an error in the Flower Pot block pattern shown on the Bulletin Board of the June 2006 issue of QN (No. 383). The correction is available here.

How Lovely Are Thy Branches,
Quilt It for Christmas 2006

The paper-foundation pattern for How Are Thy Branches is numbered incorrectly. The piecing order should be reversed, with number 5 being number one, and so on.

Fuzzy Flannel Baby Quilt,

The materials box was inadvertently deleted for the Fuzzy Flannel Baby Quilt. The yardage is as follows:

From 2 1/4 yards flannel prints cut 126 A.
From 2 1/4 yards cream flannel cut 126 A.
From 2 1/4 yards lining scraps cut 126 A.

Dreaming of Rosebuds,
QN, April 2005, No. 371

In the April 2005, No. 371 issue of QN, a rotary cutting measurement in the pattern Dreaming of Rosebuds is incorrect. The half-square triangle A patches are cut from 5 3/8" squares. A correct full-size foundation pattern for the entire unit is available here.

Heat Wave,
QN, July/August 2004, No. 364

The G patches in Heat Wave, July/August 2004, issue 364, should be cut into quarter-square triangles, not squares as published.

Rotary Cutting
Measurements include 1/4" seam allowances. Align arrow with lengthwise or crosswise grain of fabric.

I Love the Fabric, but What Do I Do with It?,
QN, October 2003, No. 356

In QN's October 2003 (#356) issue, the materials box should read as follows:

1-1 1/2 yards pictorial fabric(s)
132 A, 2 C, 3 D, 6 E

1 yard accent fabric
66 A, 22 B

Spin Around New York,
QN, April 2003, No. 351

The A patch in the Spin Around New York pattern (QN #351) should be cut 3 1/4".

Legacy of Stars,
QN, July/August 2002, No. 344

In the Legacy of Stars pattern in Quilters Newsletter issue #344 (July/August 2002), the rotary cutting dimensions for patch B should read 2 7/8" NOT 3 3/8".

Blue Lady,
QN, May 2001, No. 332

The Blue Lady pattern in QN May 2001, No. 332, contained an error. You need to make 41 X units and 41 Z units as shown here.

Fall Harvest,
QN, March 2001, No. 330

Part Five of our 2001 series quilt, Fall Harvest, appears in the March 2001 issue of QN. Directions for adding the black print middle borders were omitted. Cut 4 borders each 2 1/2" x 72 1//2". These border dimensions are the exact length required plus seam allowances. After completing the appliqued cream border, add a black border to each side of the quilt and miter the corners.

Wildflower Homestead,
QN, December 1997, No. 298

In the directions for Part 2 of the series quilt, Wildflower Homestead, note that the half-square triangles should be trimmed to 2" squares, not 2 1/2", in Step 2.

Golden Splendor,
QN, October 1996, No. 286

The quilt assembly diagram on page 44 shows rose sashes on the outside of the outer cream sashes. The quilt that Marsha McCloskey made does not have these sashes. The yardage is correct for making the quilt as Marsha made it.
