Iron on transfers

An iron on transfer set is also available when you purchase the pattern set. This has all designs printed in transfer ink onto paper that can be ironed straight onto your fabric of choice to save tracing and lightboxes. You will get 2-3 transfers out of each one.  It is not available separately.

Printed fabric panel

This is a fabric panel which includes all 32 designs printed onto a burlap beige background tone on tone pattern. The lines are a soft taupe colour which are easy to see, but will also blend if any are not covered well with thread. They are arranged in a grid with plenty of seam allowance so you can cut apart to manageable size pieces for hand stitching. Measures 42" x 41.5" approximately.

This project has a blog where stitchers can share their progress. There are also step by photo tutorials of techniques used in the quilt.
