Requirements for Bron's Scrap quilts


SCRAP QUILT WORKSHOP REQUIREMENTS

Fabric scraps – these can be mixed, or brights, or Christmas, or sorted into colours, all florals etc.  Size and length is unimportant but need to be no less than 1inch wide.

Fine fabric in white or cream to use as a foundation – this can be an old sheet, muslin or calico.  You will be sewing strips onto this to make one of the block types.  In case you want to make several blocks of this type please make sure you have enough foundation with you.

Wadding- small pieces a minimum of 8 ½ inches square.   If you intend to make several of your blocks or strips into a larger quilt there will not be time to quilt and layer up at the workshop so you may not need very large pieces of wadding.

Lace scraps and lengths of lace if you wish (optional)

Trims such as ric rac braid (optional)

Larger pieces of fabric for backing, sashing and binding to tone or contrast with your scrap blocks.  I suggest black or white is also very useful as a highlight fabric.

If you wish bring printed printed panels, or fabric with printed picture blocks such as those used to make Christmas cards.

Sewing machine, cutting mat, rulers and squares, rotary cutter, sewing threads, scissors, needles etc
