Sew On The Go by Michelle Renee Hiatt

Sorry for the delay, it has been a crazy busy week.  On top of that, this week have one of the more challenging blocks in the Holiday Solstice Mystery Series.  The individually techniques aren't difficult, but you have to concentrate on having a perfect 1/4" seam allowance and keeping your orientation.   I can not stress enough, how important it is to: Read the tips below Read Clue from start to finish  Read the tips below Go step-by-step and don't assume anything.   If you read today's blog post, I cover all the place people typically run into trouble. A lot to cover so I'm going to get started. This week's block is Drifted Snow.  The Drifted Snow Block is made up of a Square Squared, Four-Patch, Shaded 4-Patch and a pair of mirror image Split Rects.    You will need the Square Squared™ , Split Rects™ , and Tucker Trimmer™ .  If you struggle with Four -Patch units, you may want to consider the Four-Patch Square Up™ .
