A Shop Sample Finished Cozy Cabin

Another quilt finished for the quilt shop, we had sent this one out to be quilted, it was returned a few days ago,I had the binding ready to go, I usually cut and prepare the binding when I make the quilt top.

We hung this quilt at the shop Tuesday, I stood back to see that it was straight and bam a glaring mistake jumped out at me. I am going to let you see if you can spot it, to me it stands out like a sore thumb. But there it is hanging in the shop for all to see, and every time I look at it that is what I see.


This quilt will eventually go to one of my sons and I am sure they won't mind, or even notice if I don't point it out.


I have been working on creating a pattern for a simple little four patch quilt for beginners. We don't have room at the shop to offer classes, but we have people requesting a simple starter quilt pattern.

I thought it would be simple to write a pattern for a beginner. The problem I am struggling with now is when to quit. Writing the pattern was easy, trying to write for someone that had never held a rotary cutter is a little harder.

Any advice would be helpful...

Happy Quilting!

  1. Lovely quilt top Janet, I can't see anything jumping out at me, the only thing I thought was maybe the dar hourglass in the top left hand corner, but I could be wrong.
    As far as the pattern writting, there's a couple of suggestions. 1. Refer them to a good beginners book that they can check out from their local library or 2. Give photographed examples of how to use the cutter. But I think that would then turn it into a book form rather than a pattern.

  3. Ok it's the top left corner in the border, but all you really did was make the quilt safe from all evil for your brother!
