FOTY 2016 Starter Patches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am going to make you crazy for a little while until I finish piecing FOTY 2015<\/a>, because I have started cutting for FOTY 2016.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, I started a new donation quilt with Gerre<\/a>. We cut some neutrals and I had to decide ASAP what the shape and size for 2016 would be. I hadn’t finalize on a shape or size, but had been thinking about it so I just took the opportunity to make a decision. The size of the cut FOTY squares (yes, only squares this year) will be 4×4″. Finished size will be 3.5×3.5″.<\/p>\n

I had the few neutrals and one or two blues on the wall and then over the weekend the squares exploded as I cut the centers for the Food quilt and then even more when I cut the blacks.<\/p>\n

All of these are old fabrics – well, fabrics that have been in my stash awhile. A few of them had nothing cut out of them so I know they were pre-2008 fabrics. I am not going to differentiate new vs existing fabrics this year even though I really like that look.<\/p>\n
