*IMPORTANT
HINTS ON FABRIC SELECTION
-
Variety
is the key ingredient to this scrap quilt.
Beg, barter, or borrow from friends, if
necessary J
You will need a
total of approximately
2 yards of fabric. Fabric requirements for
either the wallhanging/lap quilt or a bed
quilt will depend on the size of your
finished block.
-
Scraps
should measure a minimum of 2” wide x
minimum length 2”/maximum length 44”)
-
Try
to avoid large scale prints. These prints
will compete with the log cabin design.
-
2”
– 2˝” pre-cut strips or the “Bali
Pop” strips will work for this project. It
is not necessary to pre-cut strips for this
class, but if you have them already cut from
another project, bring them along!
-
If
you like a more “planned-scrappy-look,”
select 2 high contrasting colors only. For
example, if you want to make a yellow and
blue quilt: yellows will be your lights and
the blues will be your darks. Bring
approximately 1 yard of light yellow in
assorted prints, and 1 yard of medium and
dark blues in assorted prints.
