Scrap Quilts by the Slice
| Students in the 3 hr. class will work on scrap fan blocks with curved outer edges and quarter-circle bases. The fans are stitched to a background square, so there are no curved seams. Students may choose to wait until after class to choose the background fabric and applique the fans. |
| Fabric Tips: Choose a style
of fabrics, such as novelty prints, reproduction fabrics, traditonal
florals, or batiks, and bring a variety of fabrics in that category.
Fat quarters and "leftovers" are fine. We will choose
a wedge size to complement the scale of your fabrics. Bring one
or more solid or tone-on-tone fabrics for the trim. For 6-hr.
classes, also bring one or more background fabrics. For best
results, these should contrast in value with the majority of
your wedge fabrics. (scroll down for more pix!) |

| In the 6-hr. class, students can also try the pointed wedge variation and may choose to work on a fan or circle design. Students will get insight into fabric selection for scrap designs and guidance in working with their own stash. |
