Apologies HYSC members! Sometimes we get stuff wrong. Our team are working hard to review the templates for Block 12. We'll have these corrected and re-uploaded asap. The forum will be updated once we have done so. We're looking forward to seeing all of your finished quilts for 2024 – we're always amazed by what HYSC members create and we hope you have fun making your quilts each year! Have lovely weekends. Best wishes, team HYSC x
Mel asked:

Can the templates be looked at for the latest block, the lighthouse? I have printed them and traced onto the bonding web, checking that it was all to scale and I have only ironed the base and first red piece at the bottom. These two pieces are too small as you can see compared to the rest, at first I thought the rest were too big. Do not bond the base and lighthouse 6 to you background till an update is provided so you don’t spoil your fabric. I’ve luckily got plenty of background fabric for the kit having bought more early on due to an error in my part. I hasten to add I’ve traced these pieces and cut as per the template

You’re welcome.
Mel asked:

FAO: HYSC team and members: The template for the lighthouse has an error - the one named ‘Lighthouse Platform’ should read Lighthouse Base to correspond with the fabric cutting.

Jan asked:

Hi. I’m thinking of making the Penguin Doorstop (as a toy) in fleece fabric. Does anyone know if you can iron fusible craft fleece to the fleece wing or is it better to use a sew in interface? Thank you.

Laura replied: 1 Nov 24 at 12:02

Yes I would iron from the craft fleece side to interface the wing pieces. Perhaps use an iron cloth or a cotton fabric over the interface if you are concerned about the iron touching the craft fleece.
GC asked:

Hi with regards to the folded trivot in september how would you go about making a bigger one? what sizes would you make the squares?

Laura replied: 30 Oct 24 at 09:31

Looks like they go up in 1/2” increments so you would have to do a full round with the 5” and then it would be 5 1/2 “ then 6” etc. Perhaps just try the next step in some scrap fabric to see how it works
