Unfortunately, no. The pattern is exclusive to those who purchase Build A Quilt.
You can purchase as many BAQ colorways as you like. Some of our builders love to do this to make a larger quilt or multiple quilts.
An “oops kit” is a 5 1/2″ X WOF strip of all 10 fabrics used in the BAQ blocks. Perfect to have on hand if you make a miscut or choose to switch out a fabric in one of the blocks. It’s definitely handy to have around!
