I started this in October and had all intentions of getting it completed then, but I mis-cut one of the fabrics and did not have enough to complete – even as tiny as the pieces were.

It took an extra week to get the fabric after I had located it – and an additional $20 for fabric and shipping. Anytime I work on a quilt kit that was NOT kitted by The Fat Quarter Shop, it makes me appreciate them even more about how generous they are with their kits. Yes, we pay a little more, but the piece of mind that is there unless you do a MAJOR boo-boo, you should have enough fabric to complete the quilt. They…
