Minnesota Hot Dish – Finished Flimsy

This is my queen sized version of Terry Atkinson’s Minnesota Hot Dish.  This quilt is now finished to the flimsy stage and has moved to the waiting-to-be-quilted pile.
This is a copy of the pattern jacket.  I believe this pattern is now out of print.  Atkinson Design patterns are great–never disappoint–no surprises–always end up looking like the pattern!  I know it seems funny to say that.  Shouldn’t quilts end up looking like the pattern if you follow the pattern instructions?  Although this is what we expect when we purchase a pattern, many designers do not take the time to thoroughly test their pattern designs with real quilters and you end up frustrated at some point in the construction process.

  1. Boy, isn’t that the truth! Remember that purse that stood up by itself or how wordy the 4 patch posie pattern was? Good thing we had done a stack and whack before hand.
