Fall Quilters Retreat

New York Beauty

Instructed by Marj Moore

Supply List:

• Pattern - Flowers Around New York by The Quilt Patch $9.00
• 36 fat quarters (or equivalent fabrics).  This is a good project to use 'stash'. You need to have at least 13" pieces  (not .25m) for the larger piece in each block.
• Add a quarter ruler (either 6" or 12"- I do prefer 12")
• Freezer paper - 1 m   
• Best press - optional
• Basic sewing supplies

Those are the fabric requirements if you plan on making the whole quilt.  Fabrics can be very scrappy, or organized color way (all blocks the same).  They can also make a runner, or a smaller quilt.  I usually put a border on too - I haven't called for that, or binding, because sometimes people decide that later.  One block takes 5 colors, if that helps people choose.

WONKY STAR QUILT

Instructor:  Yvonne Carlson

FABRIC and CUTTING REQUIREMENTS:

BABY SIZE:

52 stars = 260 (3 ½ Inch) squares of star fabric

                  And 208 background (3 ½ inch) squares

Fabric Amount:  2 M of star fabric, 1 ¾ M of background fabric

LAP/THROW SIZE:

90 stars = 450 (3 ½ Inch) squares of star fabric

            And 360 background (3 ½ inch) squares

Fabric Amount:  3 ½  M of star fabric, 2 ¾ M of background fabric

DOUBLE BED SIZE (no border):

144 stars = 720 (3 ½ Inch) squares of star fabric

            And 576 background (3 ½ inch) squares

Fabric Amount:  5 ½  M of star fabric, 4 ½  M of background fabric

DOUBLE WITH BORDERS:

130 stars = 650 (3 ½ Inch) squares of star fabric

            And 520 background (3 ½ inch) squares

Fabric Amount:  5 M of star fabric, 4 M of background fabric

          
 Plus 1 ½ M of border fabric (I recommend the first border be 3 inches so ¾ M needed, second  border should be at least 3 inches so ¾ M or more). 

*Add the appropriate border fabric amounts for any of the above sizes and we will adjust the quilt size to match.

Fabric Cutting Information:

All of the cutting is 3 ½ inch squares.  Each star requires 5 squares of the star fabric and 4 of the background fabric.  Select your quilt size above and cut at least that many squares.  Cutting a few extra of both the star and background fabric will help by giving us some flexibility in the layout. 

Additional Supplies: 

•  Sewing machine and ¼ inch foot
•  Basic sewing supplies 
• Coordinating thread 
• Cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler 
• A design wall will help with the layout (a large piece of batting works well)
