Kona Cottons Color Palette

Errata
In the fabric guide, the white box is missing its stripes. The white box corresponds to the striped areas in the templates.
The symbol for template piece 6H is very small and can be hard to see, but the symbol is the stars so the color should be green.
Template 67 is broken into two pieces, 67A and 67B. It incorrectly states to tape on the “dotted” line and should state “dashed” line. HOWEVER, I don’t break templates apart in this way any longer. Treat each of these as their own separate template with only one fabric on them and sew together along the dashed line.
Early patterns do not include a scale for printing the templates. Here are a few images of templates with a ruler. Please compare your printed templates to the ruler measurements in these images to verify that yours were printed correctly to scale.
In some early patterns, the dark line splitting template piece 56 and 57 is in the wrong place on the instruction book, but the templates are correct. The illustration of piece 57 in the instruction book should have only 3 pieces.
