I finally got my Downton Abbey fabric!! It is really pretty...love the colours! I am making the Lady Sybil version.
If you missed my previous post, I have joined up with the Downton Abbey Mystery QAL over at Love Bug Studios.
It has just started....so it is not too late to join in the funl!!
We got our directions for the first block...turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself! The series starts off with an episode following the sinking of the Titanic, so the first block is the "Titanic"..
One word of warning, though...the directions are all written in the EDeN system.
This is specifically for die cutters, although there is a section for rotary cutting as well.
BUT you have to remember that when it asks for "4" of one of the pieces, it means 4 of the finished pieces. For example ....if the directions say - cut a 9" block, then cut in half on the diagonal - and you need "4", it means 4 of the finished triangle pieces. NOT four of the 9" blocks!! Ask me how I know!
Oh well, hopefully I can use up the mistakes later in the quilt :) Next block comes out on Sunday! Can't wait...having fun here :)
And dont't forget today is the final day of Blogathon Canada...2 more fantastic Canadian quilters ..check them out...

One of our students is doing this - don't remember which bundle she got. Now that you state problems I am sure she is going to come with questions on this. You may want to double read all instructions first - note areas of concern - make a paper pattern first to see if it makes sense (so you are not cutting into your fabrics). Let the sponsor know of these problems too.
ReplyDeleteLove your ships! Can't wait to see the next blocks.
ReplyDeleteHave fun,your fabrics are yummiest!
ReplyDeleteI thought about participating in that mystery, and in fact, had signed up. But when Ebony started explaining about how we'd have to do conversions if we were going to rotary cut, I decided it would be too much work.
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics are lovely, though, and I'm excited to see how your quilt turns out!
That Downton Abbey fabric is tempting me very much, it's so traditional and so pretty. I look forward to seeing your finished quilt!
