Picnic Patch

Today is Monday March 30 and the calendar block is Picnic Patch. I got a distress email from Diane L. asking me if there was an error in one of the patches because she honestly couldn't make them fit together! And - she was right! I made a mistake (really?) and I told her so!

Please note: I have an Errata page for errors in the first edition. Click that link. If you find others, PLEASE let me know! (kratovil@his.com)

She breathed a sigh of relief because she could trim Patch C (and not throw it out). Its measurement is 2" x 3-1/2" (and not 2-1/2" x 3-1/2"). It's since been corrected in the 2nd edition (now in stores everywhere).

Let's see Diane's block as she photographed it in two different ways:

Picnic Patch: 12"

Don't you just love her doggie dressed up for St. Patrick's Day? Patch C are the green rectangles!

And one more shot she took with her gorgeous hand quilted Double Irish Chain hanging in the background.
