2016 Christmas Sew Along…Part 1 Cutting

Today we are going to cut the pieces for the entire quilt. 

To make things easier I’m going to number each Fabric as we will all be using the same numbers but different fabrics. I’ve left room if you want to print this out and paste your own fabric swathes on the page.

1. Black

2. Red

3. White

4. Green

5. 2nd focal

6. Main focal

These are the cutting directions for the entire quilt. As you cut your pieces  I ask that you place them in ziplock bags labeled with the size of each piece. This will make things easier later.
