Hello Lynne,
I am an 80+ year old quilter living in the US. I subscribe to Today’s Quilter and am starting your Curved Block quilt of the month.
I have been quilting for almost 40 years and enjoy trying new things.
This technique is a challenge and I have a number of questions. Can I reach you at this email address ?
Thank you,

Lynne,
I am currently doing a quilt out of your book called scrap quilts to use up. It is called magic lantern. On step 10, it says that the block should measure 8 inches top to bottom. But when you sew on the two sides, it’s shortens the whole block by about a quarter of an inch. Am I doing something wrong?
