A Few Questions



A few questions seem to be popping up so I would like to

see if I can clarify things a bit.

- - - - -

The pre-cutting that was in Thursdays post is for finishing and unless

you are using one of our kits you do not really need to worry about

it at this time. If you are using one of our kits please be sure to do this

cutting first. If you are using your own fabric you can wait until the

end to do this cutting.

- - - - -

If you would like to put the rows together as you go you will need

to cut 30 - 2" x 5-1/2" sashing strips.

- - - - -

Fabric requirements can be found in this post

- - - - -

All piecing is done with a 1/4" seam allowance

- - - - -

 I am so sorry but I do not have any kits or fabric left

from this line. It was a big kit and a special purchase

was made to fill all the pre-orders.

- - - - -

The fabric line used is Judie's 25th Anniversary

from Marcus Brothers. You can find the fabric here.

- - - - -

I hope this helps clarify a few questions. If you have

any other questions  please email me.

Row One

Note: If you are using one of our kits you must do all the pre-cutting in yesterdays

post first, also if you ordered a kit and have not received it yet I am so sorry.

Happy Anniversary



Before we get started with the blocks we have a little pre cutting

 to do. If you are using one of our kits pull these 6 fabrics

 and cut a 2" x width of fabric strip and set aside.

 

These two fabric are for your border. You will need to cut

two 3-1/2" x width of fabric strips from each print.

From light sashing print cut two 5-1/2" strips x width of fabric.

Subcut these strips into 30 - 2" x 5-1/2". Set aside.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Our kits also contain a 1-1/4 yard piece of solid for your back

and a 1/3 yard piece of blue for your binding.

- - - - - - - - - - -

If you are using your stash this will give you a better

idea of where we are heading. You will need to use

these same cutting instructions for your project.

The first block post will come tomorrow.
