TIp for Walker Caddy's from Pat:

The directions say to fold in half to mark the center using iron to make crese/mark.

Well this is different fabric. We are using knits on this kits that was donated.

SO INSTEAD OF USING AN IRON FOLD AND MARK WITH A PIN OR PENCIL.

note: when using knits/jersey fabrics don't use a hot iron, It may melt it.

Caddy pic will be posted later today

Fishished 2018 BOM with ONLY 12" blocks

This is what is looks like before it's but together. Stay tuned for the finished 6 1/2 tiny block.
Yes this is also like the #8 2017 BOM

Hi ladies,
This is from Sherri.

For the 6' block 'Sunshine' #2 Feb:
Attached is some tips how to make the 1/4 HST.
Jr used Magic method (see attached links above & below: 2-3 3/4" sq to get 8- 1 1/4 HST
You cut:
3- 3 3/4' light fabric
3- 3 3/4 dark fabric
Put right sides together of 1 light & 1 dark , Make 3 sets

See sewing and cutting directions on picture(above)

Also there is a chart above to help you figure out the size you might need. 3 3/4" works for this block
(I have used this on many diff sizes, it's gr8)

(If you need me to email or I can text pics to you)

FABRIC CUTTING KEY USING MAGIC 8 FOR HST- BOM #2 FEB 6" SUNSHINE

FABRIC PC CUT INSTRUCTIONS
DARK A 1 5" square (center)
LIGHT B 4 2 3/4" connector squares (for center. use flying geese method)
LIGHT F 4 1 1/4' squares (for corners)
LIGHT C,D,E 3 3 3/4 squares (will make 24 1 1/4" hst)
