Arabic Tiles by Jinny Beyer

I have way too many 'Projects' on the go at the moment - but most of them are Outside in the Garden and with Melbourne's fickle weather it is not always possible to work out there so...

Time to start another Quilt Project.

This one is a KIT that I bought at the AQC last year and have just unpacked it. 
I thought it would be a simple matter of just toddling along with the pattern - no need to worry about Pattern, fabric choices or availability - everything was provided in the Kit.

INCLUDING an Errata page.

Uh- Oh!  Point One.  Fabric 1 should be 1 ¾ yards - I have 1 ⅜ yards, a difference of 13 ½".
If it had been any fabric OTHER than Fabric 1 it would not be an issue, only it is the one you cut the borders from!

And, of course, even though I did read the Errata, somehow I didn't realise that I was short until AFTER I started cutting... Oh well, looks like there will be a couple of extra joins!

Point Two
The Photo on the Pattern cover is of a beautiful 67" x 74" Quilt. 
The Kit is for the not quite so stunning smaller 45" x 52" "Wall Size" version, which isn't really the right size for anything.
(I don't have spare walls that need keeping warm!)

Hmmmm - I wonder if I can make it larger?  I have more of the Purple fabric.
But then I will need more for the Border.

While I contemplate that dilemma I will happily bewilder my DH by cutting holes in perfectly good fabric.

And enjoy making as many Kaleidoscope blocks that I can, from the fabric I have, and see what happens.

But for now the Quilt can wait. The Sun is out, the Garden is calling and I have Seedlings to plant!
