Supply List

• Fabric-(Pretreated)

All measurements are given for cutting full width strips of fabrics. If you choose to use fat quarters or scraps, adjust and figure your fabrics accordingly. Measurements are given for an 8x8 quilt of 6 ½" squares and the extra quilt is 5x5 of 8 ½" squares. A few extra pieces are not a problem (unless you don't like leftovers) and will give you additional choices as you begin to lay out your quilt.

For the workshop quilts:

• 20-5" strips medium (background)
• 8-5" strips dark (contrast)
• 8-5" strips light (contrast)
• 4-2 ½" strips for accent in second quilt

For 4 ½" borders, each quilt will need about a yard for border and binding if you cut width of fabric. 1 ¾ yd will be needed to cut length of grain to allow for unpieced units and miters.

• Pins, scissors and/or thread nippers.
