She makes it so much easier to do and manageable! It's worth the money to get the tutorial and you will have it forever to refer back to. Love your blog. I often read it with my morning coffee, after I nose around MSQC and of course the daily deal!Jmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648572266650338812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-59683973293880103302015-05-19T05:18:49.733-04:002015-05-19T05:18:49.733-04:00I am so glad that you found it useful.

I had one yard of light beige for the setting triangles. You will have some fabric left over but not much. The finished quilt is 80 by 103, which is queen size.<br />If you have any other questions, please let me know.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-50800015891976860982015-05-18T12:11:32.234-04:002015-05-18T12:11:32.234-04:00 Thank you so much for this tutorial.

I have had many a quilt that I did not care about much while making them, but once completed they really started growing on me and liked the end result. I am sure Joyce loved her quilt especially since you made it for her. Thanks for linking up to TGIFF.

So the batting did not pull away from the nails with the force of gravity, huh? Your precious husband, God bless him for helping. I can just feel your aching backs and knees. <br /><br />I like the colors and pattern. The fabrics work very well together, but I know what you mean about working on a quilt that isn't "you" . That makes it even more a labor of love, I think. But somehow, when that quilting and binding go on, it all changes. I just finished one I didn't like in each stage, but now that's it's finished, I do. And the recipient will, too. <br /><br />Can't wait to hear Joyce's reactioin!Zoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119513647613843627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-16907656009760476222015-02-16T19:24:49.123-05:002015-02-16T19:24:49.123-05:00Thank you, Preeti, for stopping by my blog and lea...Thank you, Preeti, for stopping by my blog and leaving a kind word on my Easy Lattice Baby Quilt tutorial. If you try this technique, please let me know how it works for you. <br /><br />Do you know you are a "no reply" blogger? I would have sent and email response to your comment had I been able to do so. If you would like to receive more responses to your comments from other bloggers, it is an easy fix. Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville has a good tutorial on how to fix this here ... <br />http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2014/08/are-you-no-reply-blogger.html<br /><br />Happy quilting ... :) PatScrapatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922866916373027618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-78696244741370704972015-02-16T12:30:27.906-05:002015-02-16T12:30:27.906-05:00Marvelous Job!
