You don't choose fabrics or work out yardage, and most of the cutting is done. It isn't a fully precut kit, though: the pattern still has its own cuts. In Hawthorn there's one, and you make it after the sewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 packs of Patchwork Carnival 2.5\" x 10\" mini strips, 40 to a pack (200 strips).

It's a loud box, and in Hawthorn that's the point. The range of value is already there, from a near black spot to a pale yellow check, so sort the strips into two piles, light and dark, before you start, and build each column so that no two darks sit side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white does the opposite job. Checks, stripes and dots at full strength will fight each other if you let them touch. A plain white square at the end of every unit gives each print a clean edge, which is what turns forty loud fabrics into one quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne note before you start. The strips are short 10\" cuts, not full width-of-fabric jelly roll strips, which is why Hawthorn is built from short units rather than long strip sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCounted for Hawthorn\u003c\/strong\u003e so that you buy once and finish, with a few strips and squares to spare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe binding is in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e so that it comes out of the same strips as the top, scrappy all the way around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne cut in the whole quilt\u003c\/strong\u003e so that you spend your time at the machine, not at the cutting mat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e so that every piece is easy to press and simple to sew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight weave\u003c\/strong\u003e so that the strips are easy to handle (they're on the thinner, slightly sheer side, worth keeping in mind for a light backing).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA free pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e so that you can print it, sew from it and teach from it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"The Fabric Hut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44491973099581,"sku":"PFK-HAW-PC","price":44.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1875\/7971\/files\/Hawthorn_Patchwork_Carnival_Precut_Friendly_Kit.png?v=1794056517","url":"https:\/\/www.thefabrichut.com\/products\/hawthorn-precut-friendly-kit-patchwork-carnival","provider":"The Fabric Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
