Anyone more versed in adding web sites to a swap is welcome to add a link for this....and THANK YOU in advance for doing it.

This version makes it so easy to get the blocks just right! Now why didn't I think of that?!

Always loved attic windows quilts -- I kind of wish we were sending two to each partners -- like making them, like receiving them.

let me see how much response we get to that request.....I would love to make 4 (2 for each partner), I think maybe I'll just go and do that and if you are for it or against doubling the quantity, please post below.....

@junemoon it looks like your idea to send (2) blocks to each partner is a succes!

perkl8r 12/11/2012 #

I'm with @junemoon have always liked the attic window pattern, hope this is popular enought to become a monthly swap

perkl8r 12/14/2012 #

me too!

I've read the tutorial. It is not easier for me. I've been making attic windows for years and have devised a method of making the mitered corners that is quick and accurate. So if no one minds, I'll use my method.

I'm with @junemoon having to do HST for the corners is more time, material and work. My blocks will have mitered corners

yikes, I have always had trouble getting the block to lay flat with the mitered corners so this looked like an easier method for me.

I do not have a problem with anyone doing the mitered corners instead of going strictly by this pattern, in fact maybe we can offer that as an option in the future swaps.
