Patchwork Hearts Quilt Along Part 2: Cutting

Welcome to part 2 everyone! I hope you all had fun selecting your fabrics for this quilt! Fabric shopping (even in your own stash!) is half the fun.
So, you had three options for fabrics:

1.) Two charm packs

2.) Four different half yard cuts
3.) 5" square scraps

If you went with option 1:

Most of your cutting is done! Take 7 of your squares and cut them into quarters, giving you (28) 2.5" squares. You can now skip down to cutting your hearts fabric.

If you went with option 2:

For each half yard cut, you will be cutting THREE 5" strips. We call this 5" by WOF (width of fabric). Lay your fabric down on your cutting mat (or on a hard, flat surface if you are using scissors). Measure 5 inches and use your yard stick to guide your rotary cutter to cut the strip.

After you have your 12 5" strips, cut each of these down to 5" squares. You should get 8 squares per strip. You need a total of 72 squares. You will have leftover squares, Set those aside for another project.

Cut (7) of your 5" squares into quarters giving you (28) 2.5" squares.

Organize and label your fabrics A,B,C, and D.

If you chose option 3:

Make sure you have (72) 5" squares. Take 7 of your squares and cut them into quarters giving you (28) 2.5" squares.

With the fabric you chose for your hearts:

Cut (4) 5" by WOF strips. From these, cut (28) 5" squares.

And that's all the cutting! If you have any problems or questions you can comment here or jump over to the Facebook group and ask. 

Next week we start sewing! Until then, have a marvelous week everyone!
