O Tannenbaum
Started the quilt/wallhanging O Tannenbaum today. It's going to be very nice, I think, I hope.
There are 17 log cabin blocks (each with about 29 logs). Strips are cut 1 1/8" wide. Lengths end in 3/8" , 5/8" & 7/8" And blocks finish at 9 7/8" . Pattern is by Hilary Gooding, Quilts & More, U.K. So I'm thinking it's been converted for Americans from metric measures that might be easier numbers. Eight of the log cabin blocks also have little squares at the end of the logs.
So this isn't to complain, but it is a heads-up! I wouldn't consider this a beginner's quilt and because it's a very expensive kit, I thought it was worth pointing out. It finishes about 60" square. Anyone else working on this? Harriet

I did a google search and found a picture of the pattern ... it is awesome and it is not something I would want to tackle. You will have a masterpiece when you finish it. Here's a link so others can see ..

A dear friend of mine passed away recently of cancer. She was making the O Tannembaum quilt for her daughter. I'd like to finish it for her so I can give it to her family. My problem is 1. I am not a quilter 2. I don't have the instructions for finishing the quilt.
Fortunately, the quilt is nearly finished. The only instructions I can find are for "Month 10". I'm working on appliquéing poinsettias and leaves in the four corner triangles. I need to know how to add the deep blue strip around the big square, how to attach the border strips and corner squares, and how to do the binding. I think I know how to quilt it (with batting and the backing material that I found with the quilt).
Could you help me by sending me instructions for completing this quilt? Thanks so much.
