Wednesday July 20th

Foundation Piecing

Requirements

2   7.5" x 7.5" squares of lightweight interfacing

Ruler and Marker Pen

Cutting board and Rotary Cutter

Choice of 2 or 3 fabrics, enough to make at least 2 squares

More fabric will be required if you intend to use the squares in another project

Usual sewing kit

During the year we will also be looking at the 1718 Coverlet. 

For those who wish to participate the instructions for some of the blocks in the original quilt will be available at the meetings along with the list of required materials. This may inspire a few to proceed with making their own replica of the  quilt or the blocks can be used in other projects.

They can be made using a variety of ways, EPP, Hand sewn or Machined.

This could be a great way to use up all those small pieces of fabric we all have in our stash or even show case beautiful material that has been looking for a purpose.

If you would like to make some blocks which we could collate into a charity quilt at the end of this project please ensure all fabric is new 100% cotton.
