Guild Sampler Fabric Requirements and Beginning Cutting Instructions
This quilt is made up of 35 squares measuring 12 inches finished. Eighteen of the blocks have dark on the outside, and 17 have light on the outside. Feel free to change around the colours, or the numer of squares you make. For the quilt to be made as presented you will need 2.5 meters of a dark fabric and 2.5 meters of a light fabric for the setting triangles for each block.
