Quilted Christmas Tree Skirt Pattern

On page 2, under Cutting Directions, the instructions for the Large Star Print should read as follows:

Cut your yardage in half along the width so that your two pieces measure 22.5″ x 22″.

On page 9, under Finishing The Tree Skirt, the instructions should read as follows:

If you are working from the recommended yardage, cut it in half along the yardage, so that you have two 1¾ yard x width of fabric lengths, and sew it back together along the selvage edges.


QUILTING HAPPINESS BOOK

As perfect as we try to make each and every pattern, with so many projects in such a small span of time, errors are bound to happen.  While we hope those errors are few, as they are discovered we will be posting the fixes here.  Changes to the pattern are bolded in the text, and any diagrams that have needed changing will also be shown.  We recommend writing down these changes within the book for future project making.

Happy Quilting!

ASSEMBLING THE WALL CADDY

16. Position the star pocket (Pocket B) on the canvas piece, making sure it opens toward the top.  Pocket B’s top edge should be 4-1/4″ from the top edge of the canvas.  Match and pin the raw side edges.  Stitch across the bottom of the pocket through all the layers, a scant 1/16″ from the edge.  Don’t remove the side pins yet.

THE STARSTRUCK QUILT (p. 99)

CUTTING THE FABRICS
Star Points/Blue Solid:

Cut 4 strips, 4 1/4″ x width of fabric.
Subcut them into 34 squares, each measuring 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.

Star Centers/Prints (cut all pieces below from each print):

Cut 2 strips, 4 1/2″ x width of fabric.
Subcut them into 72 squares, each measuring 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.

This currently shows 48 squares, but should be 72 squares to keep with listing the total cut from all four fabrics.  However, I think it would be a lot less confusing if this listed the amount you will cut from the two strips of each fabric, rather than the total that will be cut from all four fabrics.  So it would read:

Cut 2 strips, 4 1/2″ x width of fabric.
Subcut them into 18 squares, each measuring 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.  (72 squares total)
Cut 2 strips, 2 1/2″ x width of fabric.
Subcut them into 17 squares, each measuring 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″.  (68 squares total)
