Fabric requirements: The pattern calls for a jelly roll and 3 charm packs. But you can also use fat eights, fat or straight quarters, a layer cake or scraps. The more variety the better for a scrappy look.

Background: The pattern calls for 5.5 yards. This includes the border. You may choose to make fewer blocks for a smaller quilt….or just the 12” or 6” for a one size block quilt, or just a table runner.

Pre-class Homework: Spray starch all your fabric before coming to class and before cutting your strips. If using a jelly roll you can spray starch these as well. The strips will shrink slightly in length but not in width. Don’t skip this step! This is VERY helpful when paper piecing strips. 

Pre-class cutting: The 12” blocks call for 2.5” wide strips. The 6” blocks call for 1.5” wide strips.
Have a good variety of these cut before class.

If you have any questions feel free to text me. Looking forward to seeing you in class!
