We have a new update to the Month 1 pattern of the TQS BOM.

It concerns the Month 10 and 11 cutting section. The White-on-white measurement now reads 40 x 72". (not 40 x 42")

 

To keep current, we suggest that you download the Month 1 pdf again.

 

We also have a tip from Barbara Black about why you should NOT cut out all of your pieces for the quilt ahead of time. See below.

 

Don't forget, if you have any questions regarding the BOM, you can always check the TQS Forum.

 

 

Tip from Barbara:

 

In Month 1 there is a list of fabric requirements, by Month. These are helpful for those using the kit--you know which fabric you'll be using each month. These are helpful for those using their own fabrics, somewhat scrappy as I am--we know how much fabric is needed for a specific step.

But these amounts should be used as "guidelines". There may be additions/changes to these numbers but most folks won't be going back to look at the list again, once they've printed it. Many patterns give fabric amounts and then tell you how to cut them. So, I don't cut my fabrics into the "requirements" measurements, only to have to cut them again.

At the beginning of each Month's instructions, Sue provides the "Pre-Cutting for This Month" chart, just like on page 7 of Month 1. So, I strongly suggest you don’t try to get ready for the next month...wait for the next pattern to be released on the first of the month.  Every effort is made to be sure the patterns are correct when published. Better to wait until we have our pattern in hand before we cut into our precious fabric!
