Warm Blessings. A friend wanted me to make her a quilt. When I got the email with this quilt pictured in it, I thought of her. These are her colors. She fell in love with it, so I ordered the magazine and as soon as I got my Christmas projects finished, I began this quilt. The directions were great, but wrong. The designer posted on her blog that they had the layout wrong, so I thought that was it. After I had all the blocks made and started laying it out, I noticed that the blocks were totally wrong. The magazine had an addendum about this mistake, but of course I didn't get that. I know that magazines can have mistakes in them, but this was two major mistakes. I bought the magazine so I could easily make this, save time and money by getting the right amount of fabric. It did none of that for me. I was pretty disappointed with the magazine, but delighted with the quilt. It is beautiful!
Here are a couple of more finishes for January. One was an old quilt that was languishing in my WIP's basket. The other (on the left) is a baby quilt I made with the extra's from Missouri Quilt Co's Serendipity Quilt.
This is the zig zag quilt that I started at the shore last year. I finally finished it. I followed a pattern for the layout, but looking at it all finished, I think I would have laid it out a little bit differently. It is a little bit off to me.
Now to go work on some more quilts!

It looks terrific though. I know that Wendy had posted about the mistake on her blog, but then to have another is a real shame.
I love the zig zag quilt!!!
FYI - posted about your quilt on my blog today. :)
Warm Blessings is a beautiful quilt! Despite your troubles with the instructions, you've made a wonderful gift. I especially like the tealy blue quilts too. Well done!
