Tips & Corrections
At Wing and a Prayer Design we try very hard to produce quality well tested patterns. Occasionally as hard as we try a mistake slips by.

Northern Stars:
A clarification on pg.11 under Four-Patch/Geese:
The pattern reads: When assembling the unit make sure that the fabric 9 square points are touching the flying geese points.
The points will not actually touch. There will be some float. We were trying to say that the geese points should align and go in the same direction as the fabric 9 squares.

Cardinal in the Pines:
The diagrams shifted in a printing on pg. 2. In some patterns the text is covered by the fussy cut diagram. Here is the text for the fussy cutting section on pg. 2:
Fussy Cutting - Fussy Cutting simply means a block is cut so that the motif of the fabric is centered in the square. Lay fabric right side down. Using a pencil, mark your designated square size centering the motif. We found 6½” and 4½” square rulers made this job easier. Be careful when cutting not to slice into other motifs you may want to use those later; we recommend using scissors. Below is an example of how to mark the fussy cuts. The Cardinal in the Pines quilt will require 20 - 6½” focal squares. The extra projects in this pattern will use 4½” focal blocks; 5 for the pillow and 7 for the table runner. The greenery only areas will be used in the table runner. Utilize your fabric wisely when cutting if you are planning to make all projects. Download printable pdf of text.

Back to Nature & Tonga Nature:
Block 7 - If you are having trouble with the triangle geese block. Trim down the HST-D to 1 7/8" instead of 2".

At Home with Nature Book:
On page 2 in the cutting chart, Fabric 5 should be Fabric 13.

Tonga Rhapsody:
1. Page 19 on the instructions for Inner borders tells you to make 2 of each unit but you need to make 4 of each unit. It should look like this:

2. On the upper right of page 16, diagrams C & D have a fabric reversal. They should look like this:

3. On page 16, here is a clarification to the Trimming the Blocks diagrams. The wording is the same as in the pattern but we clarified the diagrams.
