My pattern taped together within 1/8" of what it was supposed to be. I taped it to the dining room window and before long, had the new design drawn on the back of my center background fabric in preparation for back basting applique.
Please note the 1" test block above the compass circle. Those diagonal strips finish at 1/2" wide. This is seriously 1/2 the size I thought each element would be. (Note: Annelein left a comment about the 1.5" measurement in the directions. That's the length of one "V". I am shocked about how narrow each piece is.)
When Esther warned beginner appliquers, she was right.
This isn't hard. But it is tiny and fussy. And not good for those who aren't at least a little bit crazy.
Oh, and of course I'm going to do it. Duh.

It's tiny but so lovely...
You have fabulous bleu fabric...
Maybe I miss understand this message... I hope so...
I thought the two diamonds together should messure 1,5 inch together. So one diamond is 3/4 of a inch.
Haha love insanity! Love that! There are tiny bits there, and it's going to be a challenge. But I love it, and there is no rush. We got 18 months ( or years... LOL) to finish it.
Your coverlet is going to be so lovely...I have chosen not to do this one at this time after looking and studying the pattern for a few days...way beyond my attention span at the moment.
