Pre-cutting the fabrics is a mandatory requirement prior to taking this course. Please begin preparing for class at least 3-WEEKS prior to the class to make sure that you are able to get familiar with your pattern and complete the pre-cutting before hand. It is important that you have your pre-class cutting completed. If this step is not completed, you will have a very difficult time keeping up and participating in the instruction. We recommend reading through your entire pattern before beginning.

Fabric Selection: The fabrics used to make this beautiful quilt come from a combination of light, medium, and dark fabrics from four different color families. Refer to the yardage chart on the backside of your pattern.

Preparing the Template Sheets: Please refer to and follow the instructions under ‘Template 1, Template 2, and Template CG-1’ as well as ‘Template Layout Sheets’ on page 2 of your pattern.

Prepare the Foundation Papers: Please refer to and follow the instructions under ‘Foundation Papers’ on page 2 of your pattern. You only need to cut out one of the foundations papers for each unit before class. Judy will demonstrate a faster method of cutting out the rest of your papers during class!

Cutting Instructions: Please read through ‘General Cutting Information’ on page 3 of your pattern before completing the steps below. We recommend checking our website for pattern corrections before you begin cutting your fabric. Note: Please make sure all of the Template Sheets, Foundation Sheets, and fabric pieces are placed in the correct bags!

• Cutting Instructions, Part 1: Read and follow Cutting Instructions, Part 1 on page 3 and 4 of your pattern, making sure to place your fabric pieces in the correct bags.

• Cutting Instructions, Part 2: Read and follow Cutting Instructions, Part 2 on page 4, 5, and 6 of your pattern, making sure to place your fabric pieces in the correct bags. If you have not worked with template layout sheets and are not comfortable doing the subcutting before class, do not worry. Cut your fabric pieces, and Judy will help you cut through the template sheets during class. If you are familiar with template layout sheets and are comfortable subcutting them before class feel free to do so.

When you reach Special Hints on page 6 of your pattern, relax and get ready to enjoy your class!
