Helpful suggestion from Chris Smith for January block:
I tried this block last night and had trouble with the trapezoidal blocks.
It works better if you make them 1/4 inch longer
than the instructions and then
trim them back along the line of the triangles. A very interesting block.
I don't think I have ever used trapezoids before.
Helpful suggestion from Chris Smith for March block:
I just completed one of the ribbon blocks from this month's mystery quilt, and
although it all worked, it would have been easier if I had made each strip of
fabric for the paper piecing 1/4 inch longer and wider. Doesn't sound like much
of a difference and you just end up cutting it off, but it would have been a
little easier to catch all the ends. I would also recommend doing it all in one
color. The 3 color ribbons have taken 8-9 hours so far (probably just one more
hour to go to put the 4 pieced sections together), but I like the way it looks.

Note from Meredith
OK ladies, so here it is I did my typical space case.
So there are 2 different blocks for this month.
You will only need 4 of the Land of Liberty blocks.
I am giving you the pattern for the Spiderweb Star
which is the alternate block.
(Please read through this pattern before doing any cutting.)
I just want you to not make any of the mistakes that I made.
If you want to you can cut fabric rectangles and bring them with you to the
morning meeting and (I PROMISE)
I will be there to help with the layout of your templates.

ERRATA: When squaring up your border: the Measurement:
I goofed and fat fingered the measurement. It is supposed to be 2.75 inches from center. I'm sorry about that. Meredith
