Oh my! Can it get any cuter than this? I have never done any quilting but this is just begging me to give it a try. My grand daughter is a cup cake person. Every time she stays with me I make cup cakes for her. I need to make this for her.

What a beautiful quilt! I have only made a couple of small quilts so I think this one is do-able for me. I hope my daughter and son-in-law are blessed with a child by the time I finish it!

Really neat pattern. I visited my daughter in Oklahoma and she and another friend and their sons went with us on a Family Day out. We went to a CupCake Shop and had desert following lunch. What a great way for me to have memories of that day. One problem. I tried to print out the pattern for the cupcake at 50%, but my computer would only print it at 100%! Any Idea how to correct this? Thanhk you. Janet

Wall hangings will hang straight if the blocks are cut from fabric using a rotary cutter and a cutting mat Make certain that your seams are unless specified otherwise and that each block meets the measurement for each separate quilt block before assembling the quilt When sewing do not tug or push the fabric and the feed dogs and pressure foot will do the work for you and the quilt will come out straight when you assemble the rows When adding the borders make certain you measure the length for the sides first by measuring through the middle of the quilt to get an accurate length measurement Then after adding the side borders add the top and bottom borders doing a measurement through the middle of the quilt again to obtain the exact measurement you need for the topbottom borders check out the web site www about com - type in…Read More quilt assembly and this should take you to an article about how to assemble the quilt once the top is pieced I hope this helps you get your quilt into square tip-top shape so you will want to hang it with pride
