Open Skies BOM – Month 3 by Kristin Gassaway on June 6, 2022 Hi everyone! Before we begin with the month 3 blocks, let’s chat about a couple of things. A few of you have asked questions about the scant ¼” seam allowance I suggest in the patterns, and it seems (no pun intended!) to be throwing some of you off. All ... Read more »
