Romi’s Tip Please note: because of the
complexity of these instructions, depending on your seam allowance, you may have to
adjust the measurements slightly as you go, or trim to suit as you go. As this pattern would only suit an advanced level, anyone
making it should be made aware of this.

quilt a special shine! For more information on hot fix stones, contact Romi Buhles at
