~My Blue Heaven~
Class Supply List!
A pile of blue strips, a pile of neutral strips,
a whole lot
of power
sewing!
Finished size: Approx 81"X89"
This is a two block quilt! A
modified puss in the corner block, and an hour glass star block, both
in 8" finished size. You can make this quilt as big or small as you
would like depending on the number of blocks you make. This quilt
uses 45 star blocks and 45 puss blocks. The 90 blocks are set 9 across
by 10 down. Of course you can make the quilt smaller depending on the
number of blocks you make
This quilt is perfect to learn
how to use the specialty rulers I love and use so much in my scrap
quilting!
Pattern:
Each student must come to class with the My Blue Heaven pattern
printed from the Quiltville.com website. The pattern is found
at http://quiltville.com/pdf/myblueheaven.pdf
This helps keep workshop prices down. Please be aware of any
students who might not have printer access, making sure that everyone
in class has a copy.
Fabric supplies:
This is a two color quilt,but could be worked up in multiple scraps
with a neutral background if desired! It could also work up nice as a 3
color quilt with the puss in the corner blocks being one color (ie red)
the stars being another color (ie blue) and the backgrounds being
scrappy neutrals. The sky is the limit!
You will need approx 3 yards worth of dark scraps and 3 yards of light
scraps cut into 2.5" strips. The object here is to use STASH for
this quilt! Challenge yourself! See how far you can go without
buying anything, and then if you need to, buy to compliment what you
already have.
Pre-cutting the strips before class means we can get started sewing
right away! Short strips or long strips doesn't matter..we will use
them!
Class instruction will begin with using the specialty rulers to match
pairs and cut sets for the blocks.
In addition to your fabric you will
need the basics:
Sewing machine in working order (including power
cords and extention
cords)
Thread, scissors, seam ripper,pins and any other notions you
usually
sew with.
Rotory cutter, mat and ruler.
We will need some ironing stations set up, and a cutting table height
table for further cutting is helpful!
I look forward to
scrappy fun with your guild for this workshop!
