We have just launched a new Block of the Month program This goes with That. This fabulous program is based on Sue Daley's lovely Playing with Paper Pack 37.

A fun eight or twelve month program indulging in rich reproduction fabrics and filled with the fun of fussying cutting fabulous fabrics into beauitful designs.

We have over twenty different arrangements of the papers into the 2 1/2" hexagons and still counting!

Each month you recieve:

  • Two different shapes of pre-cut papers
  • Five fat eigths perfect for fussing cutting
  • Five fat sixteenths to complement the fat eigths

In the first four months you recieve two perspex templates plus a full colour ideas sheet with helpful hints on cutting and assembling the shapes each month. The final quilt assembly option is also up to you. Finish it off with triangles, diamonds or just join the hexagons together.
Plus if you sign up to the block of the month before the end of January and we will include two extra fat sixteenths to add into your project!
