1-4 hour session (or 2-2 hour sessions0 to get you on your way to a wonderfully soft, washable and usable quilt with endless possibilities. You will cut, design, and get your quilt going to finish at home.
Supply List:
- Fabric * : 100% cotton Flannels work the best. Some 100% cotton Denims, Home spuns can also work. You want fabrics that will ravel and fray! Do NOT prewash!!! (polys, blends, fleece are NOT good choices)
- Self healing cutting mat (approx. 17×24” or larger): Mat Link
- Rotary cutter (with fresh blade)
- Thread to match or contrast — as you choose. (you can use one thread in the bobbin and different on the top — all your design choices)
- (You will want some Rag Quilt scissors for the last step of your quilt (these really help the process finish well) but don’t need them for the class: http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Softouch-Spring-Action-Quilter/dp/B00083QPVW or http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Crafting-and-Sewing/Scissors-and-Shears/Titanium-Micro-Tip-Easy-Action-Scissors-No.-5 or http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Crafting-and-Sewing/Scissors-and-Shears/Easy-Action-Rag-Quilt-Snip-for-Tabletop-Cutting-8
* Fabric needs:
This plan is for a throw size quilt – approx 48″ x 70″
You will make 54 – 9″ squares for the front and 54 for the back.
The front and backs can be the same or the back can be all the same/one print (which I usually do)
You can use as few or as many prints as you like.
- Each ’45” ‘ width of fabric yields 4 – 9″ squares
- Each yard of fabric yields approx 16 – 9″ squares
- the front needs a total of 3 1/2 yards
- the back needs a total of 3 1/2 yards
- How much total fabric you need of each depends on how many prints you use.
- an example: 4 prints = approx 14 – 9″ squares of each = so approx 1 yard of each for each for the front
- When buying fabric, think in multiples of 9″ for lenghts of fabrics
