Under cutting instructions for Fabric #6. The instructions SHOULD read:

Fabric #6: (D6) 2 – 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″ (Cut on the diagonal once – Yield 4 triangles)
(E6) Correct
(F6) 2 – 1 5/8″ x 1 5/8″ (Cut on the diagonal once – Yield 4 triangles)

If you like this layout of December freebie do not subcut your 1″ strips from each fabric. You will have to measure as you go. Reference the picture for Fabric placements.
1. Begin with the first square block, measure the appropriate side and cut a 1″ strip to match.
2. Measure the adjacent side and cut a 1″ strip in the correct fabric.
3. Continue building around the square, measuring each side as you go.
4. Continue until there are 10 strips on each side (5 of each alternating fabric)

Here is a little Free Pattern “Grinch” to tickle your fancy over the break. We made our out of the “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” fabric line, but it could be done in any fabric you like! Who says it even has to be Christmas-ee, how cute would this be done for a birthday quilt?!

Hope everyone’s holidays are merry and bright! See you all soon,

If you haven’t signed-up … No fear! Come on in or give us a call and we will get you started! You don’t want to miss out!

For those of you who embrace our long winter, how great are these fabrics for a winter comfy quilt. This is a remake of the You Tube 1600 video that you can check out here. For a rag quilt we cut strips 3.25″ and used 1/2″ inch seams. Then we  quilted, cut, and washed for an awesome rag look! It is a one day project – 6 hrs start to finish.

Hope this finds you well… more to come soon! – BK
