Description
Use up your stash
No need to worry too much about the fabrics for this pattern – if your 9 fat 1/4’s look lovely together they will be great in the quilt. And it doesn’t matter if these are Fat 1/4’s from metres (as in Europe) or Fat 1/4s from yards (as in the USA) – you can still manage.
Rotary Cutting Practice:
Great for beginners since the sewing is easy; and Valerie also guides you through layer cutting with the rotary cutter – a job it was designed to do so that you have lots of accurately cut pieces quickly.
Border Options
The pattern comes in two different size blocks -but the overall design remains the same; and Valerie also gives you some alternative ideas for borders: Piano Keys and/or the use of the flat piping.
Mixing it up.
