The quilts affected are listed below, with their page numbers and the revisions required.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

CUTTING OUT
Border 3
The strips should be cut lengthwise (not widthwise as stated) and are not joined.
For Borders 2, 4 and 5 only you will still need to join sufficient widths of fabric strips end to end to achieve the correct lengths.

Cut 5 flower patches across the width (not 6, as stated).
P 93 FLORAL PLAID
Template A
Do not use this. Instead, the outside setting triangles should be cut so the straight grain is on the outside edge of the quilt. Cut 6 squares each 12 1/2in x 12 1/2in (31.8cm x 31.8cm) and cut from corner to corner diagonally both ways, making 4 triangles from each square. Cut a total of 24 triangles. Use the remaining fabric to cut the Template B corner triangles.
P 113 HOURGLASS
MATERIALS
The total amount of Tree Fungi for the patches and the binding is only 2 5/8 yd (2.4m). (Ignore the additional entry for Tree Fungi on page 114).
Cut the border first and use the leftover fabric for the medium-colored squares and the binding.

Add the following fabric (used in the centre of the quilt)
PAPERWEIGHT Blue (GP20BL) 1/4yd (25cm)
