    Does anyone know where I can find the rotary cutting instructions for the patterns for the Farmer's Wife quilt?

    The book?

    So it's the same deal as DJ.

    Wow, it's even available at WalMart.

    No. Unfortunately that is just templates. All on a disc and ONE per page when you go to print. Some very smart ladies have figured this out. One is in our quilt guild but for personal reasons I will not be able to continue with the class but want to finish my quilt---1/2 done now. I will share what I have if you let me know where to email.

    Toriabelle: if you go to Blocks of the Month section and look at the various threads, Honchey has posted the rotary cutting instructions for the blocks up to #79. Check out the pics, too. There is a group on here doing the quilt. I'm doing mine with the templates and some rotary cutting.

    Are these the threads labelled as FWS?
    I'd seen them and had no clue what the group was doing
    ... now I know!

    Thanks!

    I bought the book 501 Rotary Cut Quilt Blocks and use it as a companion guide to the Farmer's Wife book. The rotary cut book tells you the measurements for various size blocks, including the 6" blocks for the farmer's wife sampler.

    Honchey has been doing a fws quilt along for awhile now. I know she posts rotary cutting instructions for at least some of the blocks. Do a search on this site with fws and you'll find a lot of the blocks.

    Thanks! as per my question above, I had seen these FWS threads, but had no clue what they were!

    Wish I'd known sooner, as I may have gotten bit by the bug sooner! :)
