Tara Reed making a shocked face

Whoops!

I try really hard not to make mistakes on my patterns because I know how frustrating it can be to buy something only to have it not make sense or not work.

However – sometimes it happens and it’s a reminder that I’m human, just like everyone else.

My patterns are reviewed multiple times by myself, other quilters and sewists and a technical editor. Unfortunately there are times when things slip through the cracks. 

I’ve listed errors we’ve found here. The newest patterns released is shown first and older ones further down. If you don’t see your pattern, we haven’t found an error. 

Pattern Corrections

If you find an error in a pattern, PLEASE let me know so I can correct it and list it here for others. Email Me

Many thanks to the people who have let me know of issues and their helpful attitudes! When I reprint a pattern the corrections are made in the booklet but in case you have a first printing…

Starry Night Quilt Pattern - updated 10/24/25

Starry Night Quilt Pattern

This is minor – yay!

p.2 bottom: A: (2) 6 ½” x 6 ½” (center squares) 

B: (6 8) 3 ½” x 3 ½” (corners)

Cutting directions were correct, just the number needed for the (2) Sawtooth Stars was a typo.


p.4 “In the Starry Night Quilt, there is (1) 12 ½” x 12 ½” Twin Star block (M/N/P/Q) and (3) 9 ½” x 9 ½” Twin Star blocks (R/S/T/U).”

There are actually (3) 6 ½” x 6 ½” Twin Star blocks. The cutting and sewing directions are correct – it was just a typo in the introduction.

Stars Over Bethlehem Quilt Pattern - updated 5/30/25

Stars Over Bethlehem Quilt Pattern

My apologies for a rather big mistake – on page 3, the Sawtooth Stars shouldn’t be 12 ½” x 12 ½” but 9 ½” x 9 ½”. (Not sure how that slipped through the checks)

    • A: (3) 5” x 5”  (center square)
      B: (10) 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” (corners)

      D: (12) 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” (goose small triangles)

Festival of Lights Quilt Pattern - updated 6/20/25

Festival of Lights Hanukkah Quilt pattern by Tara Reed

This correction is for PRINTED PATTERNS, not digital downloads. 

The printed version of this pattern was printed incorrectly and the 1” squares to Size Check are too small. (Egg on face on that!)

Click here for the PDF with all of the template pages and be sure to print AT ACTUAL SIZE and make sure the box is indeed 1” x 1”.

Vroom & Zoom Car Quilt Pattern - updated 6/20/25

quilt patterns by Tara Reed

These corrections are for pattern purchased on Etsy BEFORE January 21, 2025. If you purchased it on or after that date the corrections have been updated on the pattern.

There were some mistakes with roof block sizes – the saving grace is that they are all ¼” smaller than they were listed in the cutting directions, so if you cut all your pieces at the beginning you won’t need new fabric but just to trim those to size.

    • Block 2: roofs are correct
      Block 3: C, G & J should all be: (1) 4 ½” x 2½”
      M should be: (6) 2½” x 2½”
      Block 4: A should be: (1) 4 ½” x 2½”
       E should be: (2) 2½” x 2½”
      Block 6: A, D & F should all be: (1) 4 ½” x 2½”
                     H should be: (6) 2½” x 2½”
      Block 7: roofs are correct

Block 8: G should be 4″ x 1″ (it’s correct on page 7 in the cutting directions)
