My first blocks:
'Mom, how big do I make the squares before I cut them?' I hadn't studied the pattern, but Lisa';s instructions have always been really accurate. I looked at the pattern-- '1-4 1/4" , To a seasoned quilter, I completely get it. But I called and read it to her." one square four and one quarter inches... "Oh, that's what that means-- I had no idea."
It's fun sharing it with her. I'd make a seam and send her a cell phone photo. Technology is a wonderful thing.

Cute blocks. I saved the pattern in hopes that when I settle down i may be able to work on it.
I can see where the directions for cutting could be a bit of a puzzle for a newbie. I remember trying to figure out what a FQ was. And once I was told, it took me a while to remember about what the measurements of a fat quarter was.
Fun!
Go Chelsea! She sounds like she is doing great :o) I would love to work on that quilt too... just no time right now. So I save patterns and hope for that mythical day with 'more time.'
