  1. Hi, I went through all my Fons & Porter’s quilt magazines. I found a paper piece pattern, spinning pinwheels. I have made several blocks and they don’t fit together properly. I wondered if there is a problem with the pattern or am I doing something wrong. Could you possibly email me the pattern to see if it lines up with mine. I love the scrappy look.
    Thank you.

  2. I have been trying for the past couple of days to obtain the half clamshell template to start my quilt. I have not been at all successful. How and where can I purchase the template? I live in Canada.

  4. Good morning Fons and Porter, I have subscribed to your magazine since 2006 and I am now thoroughly disgusted with the digital scenario that is currently in place, I have changed passwords, downloaded items and still cannot read my magazine. I subscribed directly with F&P but on my Quilting company account it states that I do not have a subscription yet I’m getting emails to access my magazine. This is just getting to be too hard to try to enjoy what used to be a great experience. Please note that I will not be renewing my digital subscription. Also advise me when my subscription finishes.

  5. Hi…I have a question…why, oh why, doesn’t Fons and Porter magazine not give us a direction we should press seams in their quilt patterns? I am not renewing my subscription simply because of that one reason….. please explain….thanks!

  6. I am looking for the pattern kit that you advertised in the summer 2010 issue easy quilts. I hope you can help. the kit is on page 21, Reel Em In by Willmington prints. I’ve got a great-nephew that loves fishing and this would be a great graduation gift. please advise. Thank You Rachel Wollam

  7. I am just finishing piecing this quilt. It is spectacular and I changed the greens to blues. I used from navy blue to lt blue ranges and it really is beautiful. I just want it to be bigger and am thinking of enlarging it with more pieced blocks. I just haven’t figured out what to do with it yet! I like how it is put together in 4 separate blocks so I can quilt it as I go, easier!
