Welcome to Week 3 in Oda May's School of Sewing! This week we are making four new blocks and a few of the Applesauce Cross blocks.
Some notes:
- Use a scant ¼" seam.
- Depending on your cutting method, you may have extras each week of common sizes used throughout the quilt. I suggest you label a couple of plastic bags for "2 1/2" squares" and "2⅞" squares" so you can make use of the extras another week.
