Patchworking and Quilting - Free Technique Square in a Square (sort of!)
with Isabel Sunderland
Saturday 18th September 2010 9.30am - 4.30pm
Cost £40
Based on jan Mullen's technique. Start with an irregular 4 sided shape, add other irregular pieces but finishe up with easy to piece regular squares. Use a subtle range of co-ordinating fabrics or bright fabrics for a child, for a wall hanging or bed quilt. Quilt is approx 50"x50" . For the class you will need to bring with you:
To make a quilt approx 50” x 50”
At least 18 co-ordinating fat quarters - more if you want/have them in colours that you like.
(This is a good design to make in bright colours for a child’s quilt but looks equally good in any fabric.)
If you have a few pieces 5” or more square that will co-ordinate with the above then bring those as well.
Approx 1½ metres to make a 5½ ” border. (You may want to decide on the border fabric and the width of the border after making the main part of the quilt)
Or To make a Play Mat approx 40” x 40”
At least 12 co-ordinating fat quarters - up to 16 if you have them in colours that you like.
