1 Pattern: Winter Forest by Wanda from Old South Fabrics

2 Winter Forest Flannel Quilt Pattern Designed by Wanda Coley - Old South Fabrics Winter Forest Flannel Quilt Kit is available while supply lasts at When I saw Holly Taylor s Winter Forest Flannel fabric collection, I knew my grandsons would love to snuggle up in this luxurious warm soft cozy flannel by Moda. Holly included a panel in the theme of winter scenes with big brown bears and deer roaming in the forest filled with trees, pine cones and berries which instantly caught my eye. I designed a quilt to accent Holly s beautiful winter scenes. Using Winter Forest Charm Squares makes this a stress free fun quilt you are sure to enjoy. Quilt Size approx 66" x 82". PLEASE, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN- REGARDLESS OF YOUR EXPERIENCE IN SEWING AND QUILTING MATERIALS NEEDED: Total of 87 Charm Squares ( 5 x 5 ) or 2 Charm Packs & 3 additional 5 squares 12 Images from 1 ½ Winter Forest Panels by Holly Taylor 3/8 yard - First Border on Image 2/3 yard Second Border on Image 5/8 yard Accent Fabric (on 2 sides of the Image) 5/8 yard - Inner Border 1 1/3 yard - Outer Border 5/8 yard Binding This quilt pattern is also great for making a T-Shirt quilt.

12 EXPLANTION WHY EACH BLOCK MUST BE CUT ONLY ON THE CHARM STRIP SIDE for a BLOCK 17 SQUARE BEFORE SEWING BLOCKS TOGETHER!!!!! *****AFTER COMPLETEING 12 BLOCKS, THERE IS A MANDATORY STEP THAT MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU SEW YOUR BLOCKS TOGETHER FOR ALL SEAMS TO ALIGN.***** IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY: The edge of the block that the Image is on CAN NOT be trimmed. When you square up the block you must cut ONLY on the two edges that have Charm Strips. See the easy explanation in BOX below: After you make your blocks, each block is 17 ½ Square. Look at top Block. Notice the 2 nd seam on the bottom left is 4¼ from the left edge of the Block. Look at the bottom Block. Focus on the left top edge. Notice from the left edge to the first seam is 4 ¾. When the blocks are sewn together, all seams will NOT match as they should. Simple Solution- EACH BLOCK MUST BE CUT TO A 17 INCH BLOCK BY CUTTING ONLY THE EDGES WITH THE CHARM STRIPS.
