4 out of 5 starsI purchased this pattern so I wouldn't have to do math for my fabric requirements. The pattern itself is extremely simple and easy to break down into parts for an experienced quilter. Unfortunately, while the pattern lists having multiple sizes available, this mostly means adding a huge border. A 6inch + border for the King size, which is the size I required. This obviously changes the overall look of the quilt pattern. And I will still have to do math, because I would rather add more blocks than have this huge border.

Thank you for you purchase. You are in luck - a revised version of Nautical News is in the works which will include more blocks and a narrow border in all quilt sizes.

Frequently asked questions
FOR HELP WITH DOWNLOADING PATTERNS
Etsy emails a download link immediately (check Junk folder).
Digital files CANNOT be downloaded through the Etsy App. Go to Etsy.com on a web browser. ** This is REQUIRED. **
Sign into your Etsy account. Click on Your Account in the upper right corner. Then click on Purchases. Scroll down to find the pattern purchase. The Download link is on the right side.
If you DO NOT have an Etsy account, use the download link in the email that Etsy sent you at the time of purchase. I highly recommend having an Etsy account to keep track of digital purchases.
Did you hide your email address on Etsy? If so, the download link may not work for you. Please let me know if you are using a hidden email, and I will get a download link to you.
THE IMAGE ON THE PATTERN I RECEIVED DOESN'T MATCH THE LISTING I PURCHASED
In the images, a variety of mockups are used to represent the quilt design. The actual pattern cover you will receive is shown in the images. Look for the front cover image to see which image will be on the cover of the pattern you receive. There is no way I could make a new cover for every image of the quilt pattern.
DOES MY PRINTED PATTERN ORDER COME WITH A PDF FILE?
No, Printed pattern orders do not include a PDF file.

PATTERN CLARIFICATIONS
Before beginning any BHQ quilt pattern, check for pattern clarifications on my website:
https://busyhandsquilts.com/pages/errata
CAN I GET THE PIECE OR BLOCK SIZES WITHOUT PURCHASING THE PATTERN?
No. Piece and block sizes are considered proprietary to the quilt pattern and are not given out. I receive numerous requests for sizes from people likely intending to recreate the design without purchasing the quilt pattern. Please support creative designers and purchase their patterns instead of copying their designs. As your mama said, "treat others the way you want to be treated".
