You'll need fabric for the background of each block (shown here as a LIGHT), and a dark & medium fabric for the quilt design.
Embroidery amounts are suggested based on adding enough fabric to hoop designs. Suggested cutting sizes will be included each week.
Paper pieced amounts are a generous estimates only. When in doubt, buy more!
Finished quilt size will be 72" x 84", in case you want to purchase enough fabric for back and binding.
Fabric colors are YOUR choice. The quilt shown is an example only, but we do recommend you use a light, a medium, and a dark. If you prefer a dark background for your blocks, then shift your other two colors to the light/medium colors. Backgrounds can also be scrappy. Quilter's choice!
