wicked easy quilt pattern blog link

I am currently mangling that pattern. My take on the pattern is that it may be "Wicked Easy" but I asa quilter am "Wicked Clumsy". It's not the easiest pattern to understand, although the basic pattern is quite simple. The difficult part comes when you try to make everything fit together.

Sorry your post was punted. I can't imagine why..... but don't worry about it. Probably just some glitch or somebody who misunderstood.

Oops! Wrong "Wicked Easy" pattern. I'm using this one:

sorry your having probs with the pattern, Sunny. i'll go read the pattern properly so if i can help i will.

i'm just >I am currently mangling that pattern. My take on the pattern is that

Is your Yahoo group by any chance "stash busters"? I belonged to a stash buster group a couple of years ago, but the list owner was so strict, it wasn't even fun to read the messages anymore, so I dropped out.

This pattern looks super easy - the one that Sunny is working on looks a bit more complex. I need to make a couple of baby quilts in a hurry, so perhaps I'll make an attempt at these. (If I can figure out why my brand new printer keeps asking me to install the drivers, which I've done twice already:(

type of printer? pauline. what program are you using to print from? bit warm here so might not make any sense with that question. is the pattern in paint, adobe, eq? do you have to tell the program what type of printer you are using perhaps. i agree bout the two wicked easy and wickedly easy. i think the pressing direction on the second one might make it easier to join the blocks to one another. j.

Since the blocks alternate in each direction across the row then the pressing direction within the blocks wouldn't matter- except for the seams between the blocks where the rows join each other???

Oh I like that wickedly easy one better than the wicked one...a bit more complex looking ! Maru

Ok, here's what's driving me crazy -- I am totally confessing -- I fudged cutting some of the strips. I had just enough -- 12 FQs. But, and this is a huge but, every tiny thread is necessary. And the FQs have to be exactly the right size. And mine, which were a stack of Kaffe Fassett prints I bought for a pretty penny at a show, were small by as much as a half inch in one direction or another or both. I thought I had accounted for all the differences. But Obviously I didn't. And I got in a hurry and think I probably made the whole danged thing wonky. But it WILL be finished. I've got nine blocks together and I'm putting on a very thin black border and then I have to figure out a border to make it big enough for a decent lap quilt.

It's all human error. And there is nobody on earth more human than I am. >BG<

Sunny

Oh, and I found that it worked better to press the seams open.

Sunny

oh my i see what you mean. if you cut the pieces in the other direction they wont work. can you add a wee strip down one side of each block so they all look the same still and still work together?

goodness, must keep that > Ok, here's what's driving me crazy -- I am totally confessing -- I

Thanks Jeanne. It's an HP6310 All In One. DH worked on it for a bit & had to completely reload the software. He loaded it in the first place & he said maybe he skipped over something unwittingly, but I also reloaded it since the initial install. I was able to print the pattern. Now, we'll see what happens when I turn everything off & on - DH doesn't want to hear about it until tomorrow though:) Could also be that blessed Vista OS that we have cursed since the day we bought the computer:)

Jeanne - are you all done with your deliveries? How is DH's recovery from the dog bite? You'll be wanting a vacation so you can R & R!

thanks for asking, Pauline. we finished the xmas deliveries on xmas eve around 5pm. between the two of us we had 100 pick-ups and delivered 112, iirc. we get them from florists in our own delivery area and to/from florists across auckland. we're part of a group of ten who cover the whole of auckland, each with his own pick-up/delivery area. they meet twice a day and exchange flowers for the ten areas. dh started his run at 7:30 am and i went out about an hour later.

he now has no more bandages on either arm. one are you can barely see the scars. the other arm still has a rather crusty scar that is wearing off as time passes. tis all closed and healed now tho. amazes me he never took a single bit of time off for it tho. no choice really. was back on the road right after getting the stitches in to finish his days run and the last two deliverys. a bit like the postman, thru sleet, hail, rain, snow. ok we dont do much of those at all, just a bit of hail and rain now and then, lol. never the snow at sea-level and this far north of antartica. now we have Valentines Day to look forward too when the weather is the hottest time of summer and the one single busiest day of the year. tis a thursday this year, argh.

glad you got the pr> Thanks Jeanne. It's an HP6310 All In One. DH worked on it for a bit & had to

It kinda looks like a turning 20 pattern. It is hard to see the layout because of the fabric. I'd go check out the turning 20 pattern on Quilters Cache rather then mess with someone who isn't pleasant.

The rules for joining is owning a blog and adding to it every week! WOW, way too much work for me. I like you RCTQ ladies. You always answer my questions.

Saw the updated pattern. It is NOT turning 20. I really like the turning 20 pattern for quick and easy quilts.
