I'm so excited to announce that the first week of my free quiltalong with my On the Pond fabric starts today! If you are an Aussie or a NZer, and on Facebook, you can go over and "like" their page to download it - it's worth doing as you will also get notice of any specials etc they have going on.
I will be selling kits for the BOM, and also selling the fabric by the metre. This is for overseas customers ONLY however. Its $16.99pm in store and from me - however if you're a Spotlight VIP you can get it from them for $12.99pm, it's mad to buy it from me when you can go instore and get it for $4 cheaper!
Without further ado, here is week one of the BOM, for those who don't have Facebook etc - and the fabric requirements to make the whole quilt. If you do quilt along with us, wether here or overseas, make sure and send me a pic.
*** CORRECTION*** there is a small typo in the pattern for week 1. The instructions say to cut pieces from the white to 2 7/8". They actually need to be cut 2 3/8 as it states lower down the pattern. If you cut and sewed your pieces already don't worry - it won't make very much of a difference to this pattern so it's a very minor change!
I am soooo excited! My lovely Spotlight lady is cutting my fabric as I type, ready for me to collect later today.
I am just loving this range and can't wait to start sewing my blocks.
Thanks so much!!!!!

Hi Sarah I have purchased my fabric and downloaded the block pattern and have just noticed that instructions say cut 2 7/8" squares but to make says 2 3/8" squares.
Could you please advise which to use as am itching to get started Many thanks Jenny

i have already begun sewing the first blocks and was having some difficulty getting that little HST in just the right spot.
When i finally got one right i measured the distance to the bottom and side of the straight sides of the HST. I find if i place it 1 1/2 inches up from the bottom and 1 1/2 inches in from the side and stitch with a scant seam the triangle flips perfectly . i just though this might help others . Love the finished v]block and can't wait to see this quilt evolve.
