Prints Charming March Madness Edition
The Syracuse University Orange may not have sewn up the championship (yet!), but the gals have sewn up their support! In the photo above Marcia and Janet are showing their Orange pride with quilts made with a special edition of the Prints Charming packs: 76 five inch squares of blue and orange fabrics. Cut those squares into quarters and fuse them onto a panel of 2-1/2 inch Quiltsmart grid. The easy instructions (created by Marcia) to make a banner or pillow are free for the asking. We are proud of our team, and you can show your own team loyalty by easily modifying the grid layout. The March Madness pack makes two banners – one for you and one to share with another fan! Let’s Go Orange!
Prints Charming packs are new each month and available for $15. Join the Prints Charming Club (just $20) and save $5 off every pack you buy all year long!
