"I am making this with other fabrics. Block 2 does not look correct. It says 1 cut of the fabric, from the diagram it looks like it should be 2 cuts and the size does not look correct. All the blocks are 10.5 in square. THis one is 11 3/8 in length. It is not fitting correctly."

"I have not made these yet but you make it look so easy to make! I love how they look! Did you put any batting between the two inner circle layers or just the felt sewn over the top of the bottom layer of the inner circle? I am a newbie to quilting and just finding my way! I have some fat flats packs ordered and am awaiting their arrival and I think that some of them would be good to make these with....but will have to get some felt! Thank you for sharing these with us!"

The Importance of Nesting Seams

"Almost ten years ago when I started sewing, I read a sewing tip. It recommended always splitting seams and ironing them flat. This method protects thread the best and prevents wear and tear and possible breakage of seams. For almost ten years, I ironed all my seams open. It was tedious work, but I knew it would make for the best quality quilt. (Even though I had a terrible time getting my corners to line up well.) Learning to nest your seams, my friends, is a quilter’s best friend."
