| Supply List |
Choose a color recipe—for example, warm colors like red, orange, and yellow, or cool colors like blue, green, and purple. Or you can choose an “anything goes” color recipe and use all the colors! Include different values of your colors—lights, mediums, and darks—as well as two or three contrasting colors to add interest. My quilt has a base of cool greens and blues, plus pops of orange and hot pink.
Fabrics can be solids, batiks, small scale prints, or a combination.
8-12 fat quarters in a variety of values, plus one ¼ yd. for the inset strip
Sewing machine in good working order
Rotary cutter and mat
Rulers—suggest 6.5” square and 6” x 12”
Scissors or thread snips
Neutral thread
Batting or flannel to use as a “design wall”
