Fabric

10 - 12 pieces for the smaller quilt to equal 6 yards

15+ pieces for the larger quilt to equal 10-12 yards

 

Fabrics should be large to medium florals from a color family.  This is not a high contrast quilt so they should be medium light to medium  or medium dark to medium for the full color wash effect.  It’s helpful if the fabrics contain more than one color and not read as solids.

 

Before class

 

Cut out some of the large 9.5” squares from the large florals.  “Fussy cut” some of the large flowers.

 

Also cut a few 6.5” and 3.5” squares from each fabric. Don’t cut all of your fabric in case we don’t use it in your quilt, just bring all the leftovers to class.  Feel free to bring as any different fabrics as you want…the more the merrier in this quilt.

 

A version of the quilt that I made can be seen on gloriouscolor.com under the title blue potpourri.  I used medium to medium dark fabrics to create this quilt.  

 

I also designed a smaller version 57” X 87” for those of you who don’t want to make the large version. I’ll bring the patterns to the workshop.
