This pattern is worked as a scrap quilt. Each block is done in different fabrics.
However, it is recommended that fabrics in each block go well with previous blocks.
Colors below are used for reference only and not actual colors to be used.
Quilt Top can be done in five sizes as indicated in cutting chart below.
Scrappy borders can be added to alter sizes.
Final assembly directions will be given with block #12.
Dig in that stash or bundle of FQ's and let's get going.
