I was going to ask a couple of questions about the BOTM but read through some of the previous questions first. Both my questions were answered so thank you !

Brilliant! It is always better to read through first as many questions are asked frequently.

Am really angry with myself guys... i have made the BOTM... used Fab 3 (pink) instead of Fab 2 (Green) would you now carry on using those round the other way when instructions come out as i only have half a metre of each?
Laura replied: 6 Jan 23 at 09:11
Hi Jilly ?I would use the blocks 1 and 13 as you have completed them but I wouldn?t swap the pink and green on the remainder of the blocks as the pink is such a key component on many of the blocks and I think it would darken the feel of the quilt if dark green was used. I think I would keep to the instructions on the remaining blocks despite the error. I don?t think the material allowance will be that tight if you are careful with your cutting. I made some mistakes on last years quilt and redid a couple of blocks and had enough fabric. If you are worried you could email Debbie to see if she has an end of roll piece of the pink that she could provide/sell to make up for any shortfall. Thanks for sharing about your mistake though as hopefully it will give us all a reminder how important it is to read the instructions and follow the pictures for colour requirements. Hope this helps a little.

Can Debbie suggest what pattern to use for sewing bags for syringe drivers. Some hospitals are appealing for them and I thought it would be nice to make well made ones to cheer up the patients. There are some patterns out there but Debbie?s patterns are so professional, it would be nice if I could use them.
Rachel replied: 6 Jan 23 at 10:30
Laura thank you so much for that. I now know what pattern to use and I will adjust the sizing accordingly.

I made Cookie for my new great grandson who is due in early Feb. He?s under wraps to keep him white. I did a sewn nose. Did anyone else have a problem with the nose?
Hazel replied: 6 Jan 23 at 13:18

What does WW mean in the block instructions for the new quilt please?
Laura replied: 6 Jan 23 at 13:51
The WW ..White on White is the code that Debbie is using for the colour coding of the white in the quilt kit that is available from her site. If you are using your own colour choices for the quilt you will need to code your colours as per the Introduction to the quilt and colours that was made available under the projects heading on here in December 2022.

I'm planning to make the Wonky Street Draught Excluder but I'm wondering roughly what size the houses would be based on the design that Debbie has made?

When free motioning on a quilt how high above the material should the foot sit?
Blodwen replied: 3 Jan 23 at 09:15
Thanks again Barb, I found the video and it was very useful. I am finding it hard to do but I expect I need to practice a lot. ????

Here?s my polar bear. I?ve named him PomPom as my mum knitted the scarf with Pom poms on. A gift for our new great Neice. I think my next one will be better!

So sweet and I am sure it will be well loved.
