Does anyone have the instructions for putting together the "Michigan Beauty" pattern? Gen


Sooooooooo tell me what this pattern is, please? one for an entire quilt? one square? .

Butterfly

It's for 1 square. I have a paper that has a picture and templates to trace, but absolutely no instructions. I spent over a hour Googling for it and all I came up with is the name incorporated in historical quilt sites. Since I really don't do much piecing like this I just gave up. If you send me your address I'll send you a copy of the paper. I must have picked it up at some MI show, but don't know when. Gen

Already used that Pattern-Finder website! It sent me to:

is the index of Quilter's Newsletter Magazines from 1969-1994 (Issues 1-269) and had: Michigan Beauty, P, 10", 195 Assuming that P=Pieced, 10" = size of block, 195 = issue number (1980s?)

I've got a lot of OLD back issues - will see if I have issue 195, and, if so, how to assemble.

I had a minute last evening, Gen, so I looked it up in my Barbara Brackman encyclopaedia. It was indeed included. If you would still be interested in putting it together, I could explain it from her drawing - there would be two alternative ways (perhaps more?), so you might like one of them. Just let me know if you want a hand with it. I've left the book open! . In message , Gen writes

Hi Patti, I found it and signed in.. thanks very much for this.. just got to figure out how it works now... Elly

I have the QNM that it's in. I can scan and send when you want.

Just let me know Butterfly

You'll be fine Elly! The 'water's' lovely.

Gen - I looked through my pile - All my issues are #39-95! (Loooonnnng time ago!) Sorry I couldn't help. ME-Judy

Let's try that and see what happened. This time I did something different with the fabric I'd planned to use, but may still try it. Thanks. Gen

Thanks Patti. Butterfly is going to scan the directions from a magazine and send. If this doesn't work,I'll get back to you. Gen

That's fine, Gen. Just as long as you get what you need. Good luck both of you! . In message , Gen writes
