I have been trying to find the download for the Cracker Jack block and am not having any luck. Is it posted yet? If so, could you please show me how to get it? I love watching Mary on Quilty, and Marianne on LOQ. It’s a great help to me in my quilt piecing. Thanks.

Ditto Diane’s and Mary’s comments — I watched the “Blocks a Go Go Cracker Jack” video and thought I’d download the pattern, but cannot find a link to do so. Is it available somewhere?

I can’t find the pattern. Tried all sorts of bouncing around the site but no sign of a pattern.

Can’t wait for this pattern to become available!!!! I have lots of ideas running thru my head that I would like to get started on.
Thanks Mary for your show- I have been quilting for over 30 years- but I never tire of seeing new techniques. I was a “Gramma” taught/self taught quilter until about 3 years ago when I took my first class with a friend- Never used a rotary cutter until then. Now, I very seldom use my scissors for the initial piecing.

I am so glad I saw this episode. I purchased the F&P Triangle Trimmers awhile ago but never thought I had a need to use it until I saw the demo. This is a great tool for making blocks with setting triangles which I never liked doing because of the triangle points getting in the way. Also, just purchased the latest Quilty magazine and saw the Cracker Jack quilt and liked it but dreaded the setting triangles. Now I know I’m going to enjoy making it. Love Quilty magzaine and look forward to the new issues. Keep up the great work.

I made a whoopsie on my previous comment, it’s Little Black Dress that’s in the most recent Quilty magazine and not the Cracker Jack pattern. It’s the same block pattern which lead to my confusion. I discovered my error after making my post when I went back to Quilty to look at the pattern again. Imagine my embarassment. Sorry.
