FINISHED QUILT SIZE: 42½"
x 42½"
FABRIC SELECTION:
If you make your quilt using only 1 red, 1
black, 1 purple, 1 green, 1 cream, 1 gold, and 1 border fabric
you'll need:
Cream/white/off-white:
¼ yard
Red: ½ yard
Purple: ½ yard
Black: 1/3 yard
Green: 1/3 yard
Gold: 1/3 yard
Coordinating
print, plaid or solid for outside border: 2/3 yard
I chose 4
different reds, 4 different blacks, 4 different purples, 4 different
greens, 4 different creams, 4 different golds and 1 border fabric.
If you do this, you won't need much of each fabric except for the
border.
If you want your quilt to be as scrappy as
mine, cut less from each single fabric, see the detailed cutting
instructions below for yardage amounts.
BATTING: 45" x 45"
BACKING: 1¼ yard, maybe (if your
fabric is really 44-45" wide, not less)
BINDING: 1/3 yard
SUPPLIES:
Sewing machine in good working
order.
Sewing supplies you regularly use
such as thread, straight pins,
scissors, seam ripper, etc.
Rotary cutting equipment: mat (18"
x 24"), ruler (6" x 24"), and cutter with a sharp blade.
6" square ruler. This is
important.

As stated
above, if you want your quilt to be as scrappy as mine, cut less
from each single fabric, but make sure your total is the quantity

from 4 different reds (4 squares total) and 1 rectangle of each
fabric for the borders (4 border rectangles total).
