Basic quiltmaking and rotary-cutting skills are assumed. All dimensions include 1/4" seam allowances, unless indicated otherwise. Try to cut and piece as accurately as possible.
Please prewash and iron all fabrics. Good-quality, 100% cotton is recommended.
Sewing machine, extra needles, extra bobbins, and extension cord
Large spool of neutral-color sewing thread
Basic sewing kit, including: a seam ripper (just in case!), quilt pins, regular pins, etc.
Scissors for cutting fabric; they need to have very sharp points!
Washout pencil or chalk marker for marking on light fabric
Optional: one pack of 2" x 4" GRIDDED GEESE
Two empty cardboard paper towel tubes (we'll explain later!)
If you're doing this project as a workshop, you'll also need to bring a bag lunch.
We strongly suggest that you go through the instructions and highlight (or underline or circle) whichever set of numbers applies to the size of the project you've chosen to make. If this is a one day project, we encourage you to stick with the smallest quilt top in order to make the most progress.
