We are so close to the end! You should have a whole bunch of colorful blocks by now and only need 20 more. Next month, we'll include instructions on how to sew it all together as well. We can't wait to see them all.
All Blocks will be 6 1/2"

We'll add each month's link to that page and it also goes over fabric requirements and schedule. We recommend bookmarking it if you would like to be able to always find the posts easily.
Cutting the White/Background Fabric
Remember, for your white fabric you can simply cut off what you need from your yardage each month, no need to precut it down to anything.
- Cut 2 strips at 3 1/4" x WOF
- Subcut into 20 - 3 1/4" squares, 12 from one strip and 8 from the second strip
- Cut remaining 3 1/4" strip into 2 - 1 1/2" strips
- Subcut into 4 - 5 x 1 1/2" strips
- Cut 2 strips at 1 1/2" x WOF
- Subcut into 16 - 5 x 1 1/2" strips (you will have 20 - 5 x 1 1/2" strips total)
