STEP 1: Cut 4.5" squares!
I'm going to post an image of the sample fabric and tell you how many 4.5" squares you need. If you didn't buy the Hoffman fabrics I posted, and substituted them, so we don't affect the yardages, make sure you don't mix and match substitute fabrics for any particular Hoffman fabric.
Winter version:
1. Cut
eight 4.5" squares of this (light blue snowflake pattern) fabric (or the one you substituted for it.)
2. Cut
sixteen 4.5" squares of this (light blue star dusty print) fabric (or the one you substituted for it.)
3. Cut
eight 4.5" squares of this (light/medium snowflake print) fabric (or the one you substituted for it.)
4. Cut
four 4.5" squares of this (light blue pointsetta print) fabric (or the one you substituted for it.)
You should have 36 4.5" squares now.
STEP 2: Sew
four 9 patch squares.
Mix and match all your textures/shades in the 9 patches.
Example:
You should have four 9 patch squares measuring 12.5" each.
Here's mine: (I substituted fabrics and it doesn't look as nice ...)
STEP 3:
Sew two 9 patches together.
Sew the two rows together.
Your piece should measure 24.5".
Here's mine. BUT, I have way too much contrast in my piece. It will look better if you use the similar shades, but different patterns on them to avoid all this contrast. I'm going to redo mine for less contrast. But, if you like contrast, that's fine too.
That's it for now!
