I purchased a block of the month a few years ago with the idea that this would be a great take along project to hand piece at ice hockey rinks/games (definitely a lasting project). Fortunately there was another person in the same group who was sewing the blocks as soon as they arrived as TWICE during the year we received surprise packages with extra fabric because something had been cut wrong or measured wrong - not sure if it was a store issue or a pattern issue. Just thankful that I'm not pulling the patterns out 2 years later to find that I don't have enough of a now out-of-print fabric to fix it.
Cheers, K
