Emerald Isle (page 26)
Cutting for the green paisley border print should read "Eight 2" x 90" lengthwise strips small border stripe (for inner border)
Eight 4-3/4" x 90" lengthwise strips larger border stripe (for outer border)"

Under Make the Blocks, the arrows should indicate pressing direction as follows:
Set 1: Iron towards B, A, and N
Set 2: Iron towards C and M
Set 3: Iron towards A and D
Set 4: Iron toward E, A, and K
Set 5: Iron towards F and L
Set 6: Iron towards A and G
Set 7: Iron towards A

Under Assembly, step 2 should read as follows: "2. Sew two 3-1/2" purple middle border strips together to make a 3-1/2" x 88" strip. Repeat to make four strips. Sew the 2" x 90" narrow border to one side of the purple strip and the 5-3/4" wide border strip to the other side. Repeat to make a total of four borders and trim evenly. Attach a strip set to each side of the quilt center, mitering the corners."

Surfaces (page 18)
The materials listing and cutting directions for the orange and orange and blue print fabrics, as printed in the magazine, were reversed. Under the Materials list, the yardage should read : 1/4 yard (not 3/8) of orange and blue circles and 3/8 yard (not 1/4) of orange print.

The Cutting directions should read:
From the orange print:
Two (not one) 4-7/8" x 44" strips; recut into sixteen 4-7/8" squares, cut diagonally in half

From the orange and blue circles:
One (not two) 4-7/8" x 44" strip; recut into eight 4-7/8" squares, cut diagonally in half

Star Flower Rag Quilt (page 39)
Cut forty-nine 7" squares from the batting, not 8" squares. The batting should be 1/2" smaller all around than the fabric squares.

Blue Diamond (page 57)
The Block A diagram should've been printed upside down (the blocks are mirror images of each other).

On page 60, the last instruction in the first column should read: "For the two matching B blocks, add fabric strips to the unit as shown in the Block Diagram. Notice that the B blocks are mirror images of the A blocks. (For example, since you turned the A blocks in a clockwise direction as you added the strips, you need to turn the B blocks in a counterclockwise direction as you add the strips.)"

Apple Table Runner (page 69)
Binding inner corners: For ease in controlling, it is recommended that you sew with a single layer of 1-1/4" bias binding. Pin the edge of the binding to the trimmed quilt layers right sides together. Ease the binding as you stitch. At the inside point of the curve, lift the presser foot with the needle down and pivot, taking care to keep all layers smooth with no pleats or puckers. Once stitched, clip the seam allowance on the inner points to the stitch line. Turn under the raw edge 1/4" and fold binding over the quilt edge. Blindstitch, easing and folding miters at the inner corners. "
