Fabrics needed says 3.5" x 9" rectangles but in the sewing directions it refers to 3.5" x 9.5" rectangles. So, which is it? Is the 1/2" difference the margin for error you talked about?Michelle L.

It's at the point to add the stars. I'm resisting the urge to throw big border's on and call it done.

And, oh my goodness all those machines. I confess to being in "simplify" mode over the past few years so my home is pretty much collection free (and I'm a little envious of you). I would love to spend a day with my grandma - she died when I was very young, so I never really knew her, but from stories my mom tells, she was a hoot! And I wouldn't mind a little one-on-one time with Barack Obama - you know, just to talk about kids and food and day to day stuff. Wouldn't that be interesting?<br />sunshdws at yahoo dot comSherrylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722745639364300062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-30445753794542627692011-06-22T14:38:13.305-04:002011-06-22T14:38:13.305-04:00Bonnie,

They do make the fabric hoarding side of the quilter in me squirm a little. <br />Thanks for the Jacob's Ladder pattern! I want to do it, but I don't really have florals--have plenty of yellow, though!! I'll find a way.

I ha...I would love to spend a day with you Bonnie! <br />I had a pink machine just like the one in your top picture. <br />I am working on Criss-Cross Applesauce now having finished a Webstrings and a Basketweave Strings. I love your tip about finishing the binding so you cannot tell where it started. I still like making my own bias binding (but that is my own bias). I know I have seen directions by others but after 20+ years quilting yours are the most clear. <br />I have a book or series of books to recommend for your next long drive... they are mysteries by JA Jance, Her character Ali Reynolds is a blogger and sometimes sleuth, reading your blog makes me feel like a character in her books. They really make the miles go by. The first in the series is "Edge of Evil" <br />Back to the issue of the "stuff" we keep; a few years back I traveled from Oregon to New Orleans to help with hurricane relief... pulling old fabric stash, etc from damp leaky attics made me look differently at my abundance at home. And just think of all of the flood and tornado victims this year! <br />Thanks for sharing your world with us Bonnie.javajeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079578735057519830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-76572244344694451082011-06-22T10:04:47.393-04:002011-06-22T10:04:47.393-04:00Bonnie, love your latest blog post, and all of you...Bonnie, love your latest blog post, and all of your pictures.

Mostly the clutter piles up because there is so many other things to do in my life of mom, employee, hobbiest, daughter etc. <br />I have actually hired a friend to help me get through all the places where stuff has piled up. It is easier to tackle with a friend. <br />Beautiful quilt pattern. <br />I think the thing we have to remember in life is to not pile more and more things to do on our list but to slow down and enjoy the things we do<br />do. I have to set my mind also on doing the things that are boring to me like housework and get over the feeling that it is a thankless task that I have been doing for over 25 years.... <br />Someone once said to tackle the areas you hate 15 mins a day. This helps. <br />Thanks also for the info to make it so people can respond to our comments.

I had actually stopped spinning the seams because half the time they did not butt together for me! I am in love with the Yellow Jacob's Ladder - thanks for the bonus of sharing your tips on how to put it together. Must run now to find the perfect yellow!!!

If those machines could only talk and tell you what they sewed and who their owners were.....wouldn't you love to know?<br />Love the yellow Jacob's Ladder....I keep getting drawn to them...I think it's the diagonal movement. <br />I'm working on one right now and was sooooo frustrated at the seams not matching up....cursing...wondering why "tweaking" the seams was so great. Your tip explains it all. Too late for this quilt, but can't wait to start another.
