Thank you all for taking the time to come and blossom as a quilter with me.
I am SEW excited to show you our next block! It is SEW cute!
Below is all the information you need to prepare and cut your fabric before
joining me on our YouTube Channel for step by step instructions.
in all my pictures to show you the step by step.
But do not worry if you are not using this bundle, I would love to still inspire you every week,
by sharing multiple color options for the fun and simple blocks.
You can use those color options as inspiration for placement of your fabrics.
For Week 3, you will need:
(These notions are just my recommendations)
• Fabrics (4 medium pieces) and 1 light background
• Sew Daisy Fabric Markers (Use fabric markers to stay organized)
• Creative Gird Rulers: 4½" x 12½" and 6½" square
• Olfa Rotary and Blades
Edyta’s Tip: Always have a stash of fresh blades for your rotary and remember to change yours often. for the cleanest cuts.
• Sewline Fabric Pencil, Best Press, Pins, Scissors, and fresh Microtex Needles 70/10
Check out our Spring Mystery Quilt Sewing Basket on the website for all your quilting needs!
What a little surprise! This cute little blossom popped right into our quilt.
