Welcome to week one of the Sew Loved quilt along and thank you for joining! Make sure you are signed up to receive all of the quilt-along emails. Don't forget to read to the end to learn about this week's prize and how to enter.
This week you will be cutting your fabric for the Sew Loved quilt.
TIPS:
I have included fabric markers for all of your pieces to help keep you organized!
As you can see in the close-up picture, you will want some contrast between the heart fabric and the background fabric. You will also want to be sure there is some contrast for the spool ends and the "thread".
This pattern has many background pieces. One way to make cutting go faster is to use a slotted ruler. I have a June Tailor Shape Cut ruler that is perfect for this!
If you are using directional fabrics, take careful note of the proper direction when cutting. The mouse below is a great example!
Now for the week #1 prize! One lucky winner will receive a $25 credit to the amazing GotKwilts shop.
