The Penny QAL - Cutting Your Fabrics

I have so enjoyed seeing the #pennyqal posts show up on Instagram! Make sure to use the hashtag in your posts and follow the hashtag to see each other posts. It is so nice to see you commenting and helping each other with your Penny Quilts!


This week I will be doing a live Q&A session on Instagram. This will take place on Tuesday 10/5 at 11:30am PST. I will add a question box to my Instagram stories on Monday night and then I will answer the questions in the live video. If you have any questions, this is a great time to ask them!


The majority of information will be distributed through the email list this week. There are videos discussing how to cut your fabrics for the fat quarter version and for the pattern as written. Because the videos discuss specifics about the pattern, the videos are only available for email subscribers who have purchased the pattern.

  1. Erica thank you for your fat quarter cutting instructions I sewed one block from original instructions out by a smidge so do you think it will be easier to get precise size blocks by using the fat quarter instructions. I am all for easy and don't feel like unpicking large blocks any tips would be appreciated

    1. I don't necessarily think there will be a difference in getting precise blocks between the two versions. The fat quarter friendly version might be slightly more precise if you struggle to work with larger blocks.
