Section 2:
Some customer copies require a minor update to a typo on page 2-6 of both colorways. All of the cutting and assembly directions for Section 2 are correct and your units will fit together perfectly. For those customers that measure units prior to assembling, there is a minor typo in Steps 9 and 10 in the finished size of the units. Please update your pattern to note as follows:

• The last sentence of Step 9 should read: Press toward the 2C block to make a 23" x
  11 3/4" unit.
• The last sentence of Step 10 should read: "Press the seam open to complete a 23" x
  30 1/2" Section 2.

PATTERN CORRECTION:

Block #1: From the Blue Blocks 9713-0150, cut:
One 2" x WOF strip, recut into sixteen 2" B squares
Two 3 7/8" x WOF strips, recut into thirty-two 3 7/8" x 2" D rectangles

Block #4:
Step 6. In the same manner, make eight Fast Flying Geese using eight Olive Starflower B squares . . .

Block #5:
From the Red Flower Toss cut: two 5 1/2" F squares

PATTERN CORRECTION: Some patterns for the Neutral version of A NEW AGE were packed with a sheet that was inadvertently printed with the same information on both sides.

PATTERN CORRECTION: Please note the following:
Month 5 -- Block 19, Page 13, Diagram 3: The flying geese unit G/E should measure 1-1/2" x 2-1/2".

UPDATE: AMISH with a TWIST III (Block 4)

Attention, Amish II Participating Shops...

It's come to our attention that there is an error in Block #4 of the Amish With a Twist Series 3: Best Friends BOM pattern. On Diagram IV and the Block Assembly Diagram, the four-patches were reversed. Below is a corrected version of the Block #4 Instructions.

If you've ordered a Shop Kit containing the AMISH III pattern, your kit may have the error noted above. Please feel free to print a corrected page by accessing the Retailer-Only section. If you have also already received your pattern order, please check Block #4 to see if your patterns contain the error.
