Welcome back to Sewhooked for the fourth installment of My Favorite Things, my 2016 Block of the Month!
My Favorite Things includes 12 brand new patterns to paper piece in both 6″ and 12″, as well as a FOUR BONUS BLOCKS to mix and match your own favorites!
These patterns are MY Favorite Things, but I very much hope that you will find some of your favorite things in the mix.
***IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT HOW THIS BOM WORKS***
The first day of each month in 2016 is FREE PATTERN DAY. At that time, you can download* the monthly BOM pattern for free from 8am CST on the 1st to 8am CST on the 2nd (i.e. 1/1/16 – 1/2/16). After that time, each pattern will be available for $2 from my Craftsy Pattern Shop. Bonus blocks will be included at no additional cost every three months.
*Please note that you will need to save or print on Free Pattern Day. The free pattern link will expire after 24 hours.
Every three months, our BOM includes a bonus pattern! TODAY is that day!

It’s lucky March and today I have two more of My Favorite Things to share with you: Scissors & a Rotary Cutter. No quilter’s supplies would be complete without these two beauties cutting tools.
Pattern document includes two – 6″ & 12″ fully color paper pieced patterns as well as sewing order for both blocks.

Here are (most!) of my favorite cutting tools. I have a few more goodies tucked away in my “to go” sewing kit, including my first ever rotary cutter, a Fiskar gifted to me by my quilter Mom.
I keep a 45mm Olfa for paper and one for fabric, moving my old blade from fabric to paper until it’s given all it’s got! The third cutter is used for specialty blades.

Safety Tip: Store old rotary blades in a container. When it’s full, tape it up before disposing.
