There will likely be some left over each month. I start with that leftover fabric the next time that width of that fabric is needed. That might allow me to save cutting a strip or two as we get farther along.

I have a question about the stems. Are they the same color green for the entire quilt? I'm wondering if you could use a single color of bias tape and what color Sarah used. Thanks, Sharon

From the photo and the Fabric Requirements document, Sarah used two fabrics of pre-made bias. We don’t know exactly which she used. She selected two from the Kit that are similar. Matcha is a bright green, Shire is a deep dark green. You certainly could use one fabric for all the stems.Last edited by Barbara B.; 01-04-2023, 10:16 PM.

How are other people attaching the stems to the background fabric before doing the applique? There is no instruction that mentions that part. Is that what the Roxanne's glue is for? Can I use double sticky 5mm tape? I tried the Hera marker technique & I got very nice, straight, 1/4 inch stems but now I'm not sure how to keep them in place before I sew them down. I did not wait for my fabric to arrive but used some batik fabric from my stash that looked very similar in color to the strips in the kit.

see the rulers on top and sides so you know where to draw you lines on graph paper Then the other
photo is of the units. I add 1/2 inch around each piece for cutting out the fabric. I make an extra copy and then cut the pieces out and draw the half inch around each one. If by posting this I am
stepping out of bounds, please let me know Barbara. Don't want to cause problems.
I revised the drawing with Barbara note that the bigger patch was in the middle.
