If you suspect a problem in any Quiltmaker issue, please check quiltmaker.com/corrections first. We work hard to avoid errors, but when we find them, we want you to know and we always post them online. If you don’t find a correction posted and still suspect an error please write to editor (at) quiltmaker.com.

Here are the known errors in 100 Blocks, Winter ‘09:

• Art Deco Star, block # 28: foundation section 1 is numbered incorrectly on pattern page 1. Download the correct foundation.
• The cutting dimensions for all the sashes (A) in the Settings & Yardages on page 6 should be 2-1/2″ x 12-1/2″.
• Dodi Poulsen’s last name was spelled incorrectly on pages 27 and 65.
• Emily Herrick’s blog address is given incorrectly on page 47. It should be crazyoldladiesquilts.blogspot.com.
• Hoffman California Fabrics was inadvertently left off the credit list for Heartfelt, block #68.

We regret the errors.

We work really hard to give you accurate patterns. And most of the time we succeed. Every once in a while something slips past us.

A bit about our process: Two different editors calculate yardage and reconcile any differences. A home sewer makes the quilt or the color option from our preliminary pattern and notifies us with questions. Then each pattern goes past 3 sets of eyes to verify, confirm, ask questions and ensure that all the numbers are correct and the instructions are clear.

We missed a number in Thirty Something in the July/August ’09 issue. The C patches should be cut at 2 and 1/8” instead of 2 and 5/8”. We regret the error.

We recommend you sew one block from a new pattern before you cut all your fabric to make sure you understand the instructions. If you suspect an error, we suggest you do the following:

1. check our website for corrections at quiltmaker.com/corrections
2. send an email to editor@quiltmaker.com

One thing I find helpful when I’m not sure about a pattern is to cut the patches out of paper, fold the 1/4″ seam allowances to see how they fit together. This is especially helpful with triangles and other funny angles.
