I made a mistake in the cutting instruction of my design in MM, but luckily when they send you the mock up for the issue, I went ahead & made another quilt using the instructions just to make sure they were OK & realised it was my own mistake & we rectified it. Love playing with some blocks and recolouring or rearranging them. Don't put me in the draw as I've already got it from the magazine. Love the baby version too.

I had just enough left of my focal fabric (I had used it for your Let Your Star Shine pattern) to be able to use it in the throw quilt and realized there was just enough for a baby version as well. I was thrilled to make another of your patterns. It was so easy to piece and so much fun trying both traditional paper piecing and the Wax Paper method to see which worked better. The best part was seeing both your Christmas Mock-up and Wendy, Anja, Rose and Michelle’s beautiful versions. This just might become my DrEAMi project this month after seeing the other versions.
