It might not have felt like it at times in the last week but Spring is on the way and, before we know it, we will be hunting Eggs and Easter Bunnies amongst the Primroses. Our redwork block of the month for March 2018 celebrates everything we love about Easter.

When you print out your motifs make sure your printer is set to print same size and not ‘fit to media’ as this will distort the final size of the block. Now we have finalised our quilt layout the blocks will be 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 ins, cut them 10 ins square to protect the edges. Sharpen your iron-on transfer pencil and draw over the design, place it design side down to the calico and iron. Iron some interfacing to the back and stitch away. Alternatively use a light box or tape your design to a window and trace with a fine pencil onto the fabric, if you use this technique use the non reversed version of the pattern.
