Smith Mountain Morning
Class Supply List

Finished block size: 9”

Finished quilt size: 71” x 80”

In May 2010 I had the privilege of teaching for the Virginia Consortium of Quilters in Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. Spring was in full bloom and the surroundings were just breathtaking. Early morning sunrises over the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains inspired the name for this pattern, capturing the wonderful memories forever in my mind.

True to the traditions of ages gone by, this design uses scraps of unbleached muslin in a variety of dye lots. Muslin is the perfect accompaniment to recycled plaids, stripes and prints. A bonus bag of brown calicoes dating back to the 1980s and 1990s gifted to me at a trunk show in Marietta, Georgia also played its part in completing the medley of repurposed scraps.

Smith Mountain Morning is a two-block quilt, with the star block, a 54-40 or Fight variation, in two colorways, and a Chimney and Cornerstones log cabin variation which is rotated to complete the design between the stars.

This pattern is found in my book Scraps & Shirttails II which may be purchased from my website at http://quiltville.com This is a "Book Required" class.

In addition to the basic requirements of Sewing Machine with 1/4" foot, pins, needles, thread, seam ripper, scissors, rotary cutter, mat and ruler, students are required to bring these specialty rulers to class:
Easy Angle Ruler
Companion Angle Ruler
Tri Recs Rulers

I look forward to scrappy fun with your guild for this workshop!
