I have not set the solid fabric blocks from the kit yet. That might be a winter project. Or I might just get it done soon!
- Bonnie Lane fabric
- Sewing with My Aurifil Thread.
- the Solid KIT which is gorgeous!
- And another with SOMETHING BLUE
*** Blocks Together ***
- This is how I auditioned for the borders on my Bonnie Lane Version.
- I took a photo of each border fabric pinned up. - CLICK the photo and it will show you all the borders. I can't get it to run in the article here
- Then put all those into a folder.
- Opened the folder so I could see them all and decide which looked best.

Tools I recommend:
- OLFA TOOLS, there is a combo of the True Blue mat and ruler! Also check out the folding mat, they work SO well if you want it for travel or have space issues
- 44% OFF - ON SALE The Jubilant it is a really great price and you might get free shipping to! Ships right to you and at 14lbs with a blanket stitch, it's amazing!
- You will need a few rulers to start. I highly recommend the 6.5" square and the 6.5" x 24.5" size to start. Also if you have not upgraded your rulers since your first beginner class... go NOW and do it, you'll wonder why you waited so long
- The Dritz Needle Inserter & needle Threader are a handy tool to have. Helps you hold your needle to replace it and if you don't have an automatic threader on your machine, this one works great
- Mini Iron
- Wool Pressing Mat
- The Thread cutter basket is SO useful! you can keep your Wonderclips or Alhabitties in it, top has a thread cutter, and the side has a magnet for pins!
- Last is a container for the project. I saw these and feel in love. They are REALLY Sturdy (I'm picky on that) and many colors and sizes. This one expands so it can be double the size if needed. I like to keep my project things all together. Since it folds up, I can store it if I don't have project for it.
