To celebrate our layout I'm thinking about a winter bonfire! First I must tell you that I'm not sure I've ever BEEN to a winter bonfire, I've been to summer and fall ones but not winter. Several of you suggested and I agree it sounds like an amazing thing to do for Winter Fun! If you have a Winter bonfire tradition or maybe your town has one of these, tell me about it in the comments!
I'm VERY excited to have the layout today. Now we can have everything cut and sew the units as we go along!
****** NOTE ******
THIS WEEK IS THE LAYOUT. there is PLENTY of sewing and cutting
NEXT WEEK IS BLOCK #4
- FULL Project Details and Printable supply list
- Fabric I'm using
- Layer Cake
- Purchase 2 yds of a neutral you like (NOTE the ones I'm using will be back in stock soon)
- Purchase 2 yds for a border of the fabric you like. (NOTE the ones I'm using will be back in stock soon)
- ALL Royal Blue fabric
- I highly recommend my Aurifil Thread box for piecing, it's ON SALE
*** Border cutting Tip ***
- I'm cutting my border fabric 'length of fabric' so it does not need to be pieced.
- In order to be sure I don't mess up. I over cut a larger piece, then go back and cut the final border from that
- It's easier to handle the smaller piece and I'm less likely to make a mistake.
- Cut a 19 x 60 strip.
- I first measure out the 19"
NOTE - Do the same for the long inner border of the light fabric.

- Then make a notch for the long cut
- Cut the length of the 2 yd piece x the 19" wide
- Now I cut the actual border strips
- The rest of the blue is used in the sashing units
- My pattern gives you the sizes
- If you have not upgraded your 24.5" ruler in a long time... today would be a great day to order a new one!
- Here are some of my sashings.
- The squares are cut from the other fabrics so they will be scrappy
