If you haven't started working on the BOM - here are a few helpful tips to get you going:

Make sure you read through "10 Things You Need to Know" and the "Introduction Packet" found in the Instructional Segments portion of the BOM before starting your quilt.  Here you'll find all types of information including a wonderful reference chart that will help you organize your fabrics (particularly if you bought the kit). You can see just a snippet of the chart below.

Each month's pattern has cutting directions for each individiual block.
