Here is the landing spot for those of you looking for a simplified cutting sheet when making the “Spring Fling” flower quilt in Magic Dot fabric. The original pattern separates the cutting instructions in three categories: flower centers, flower petals, and stems. In this Magic Dot version, we are often using a single print for multiple categories so I wanted to provide simplified cutting scenarios using yardage. Refer to the original Spring Fling cutting instruction for specific measurements.

Cutting Combinations

Flower Center + Flower Petal Combo (1 F8+ 1 FQ combined in 1/2 yard):

• Cut (1) strip 6-1/2″ x WOF. Subcut (2) “A” squares. From the excess, subcut the (16) D squares.
• Cut (1) strip 3-1/2″ x WOF. Subcut (8) “B” squares.
• Cut (1) strip 2-1/2″ x WOF. Subcut (8) “C” squares.

Yields (2) flower centers and (2) flower petal sets. Used for the “Coral,” “Raspberry,” “Pink Lemonade,” “Americana” White, and “Goldie” SKUs. You can follow it for “Cloud” White too but will need to add an additional petal set.
