Ooops, we’ve made a couple mistakes!
Here are the updates:
Here at Quilt with Marci Baker we strive to give you the best results possible so that you can finish your quilts with success. We have testers go over the patterns in our books to make sure they are right.
Sometimes however, an error is not noticed, so that is what this page is dedicated to updating the instructions in our books. If you find any changes that are not listed please call us at 970-224-1336 or contact us.
The RED fonts below are the MISTAKES. The BLUE font is the CORRECTION.

Correction: Change Cut Bk: 2 Strips, 7″ x FW, 4″ Half-Hexagons to Cut Bk: 2 Strips, 11 1/2″ x FW, 4″ Half-Hexagons, 7 3/4″ rule line. If the 7″ strips have already been cut then cut the pieces as shown in the steps and have the 7 3/4″ rule line aligned. Use the other half, which is too small as the pieces that otherwise would have been cut in half, in Figure 4.

Oh My Stars!

Pattern: Pretty In Pink
Location: Page 84, Fabric Yardage section
Correction: For the S Star change 1 yd to (3) 1 yd ea. Right below the Cut Strips chart, remove the sentence: Cut all of these strips into 1/4 W.
Pattern: City Lights
Location: Page 46
Correction: Cutting instructions for building, sky, and ground pieces. Long diamonds are cut like diamonds (page 112) aligning the larger measurement along the cut edge of the fabric. Illustrations show angles cut for right (R). Cut left (L) by having fabric wrong-side up. Trapezoids and half-trapezoids (ground pieces) are cut following instructions on page 112. The half trapezoids are cut at 10″ and then cut in half to get both a L and a R.
City Lights Outline This is the pdf for a larger version of the outline of the city lights. It really helps with the placement of the shapes at the top of the design.
