Here is the materials list for the July workshop.
Improvisational Slice and Insert Table Topper
Approximately 23” x 42”
Fabric Requirements
- Background/border: 2 yards light (solid, or nearly solid for a crisp, modern look)
- Insert fabrics: (4) ¼ yard cuts or (4) fat quarters
- Batting: 26” x 46”
- Backing: 28” x 48”
- Binding: 3/8 yards
**To help achieve a modern look, I selected solid (or nearly solid) fabrics for my inserts with only one bold print. I used predominantly green for the inserts, adding a bit of bold raspberry as an accent. The same cream fabric is used in the blocks and the border. This allows the negative space to flow in and out of the individual blocks causing the block structure to nearly disappear.
Supplies for Class
- rotary cutter with a sharp blade
- rotary cutting mat
- 24” rotary ruler
- approx. 6” x 12” rotary ruler (doesn’t need to be exact size, just something smaller than the 24”)
- sewing machine in good working order
- neutral sewing thread or thread that matches your fabric
- pins
- pencil and note paper
- seam ripper and scissors
- iron and ironing surface, optional – there will be one available, but you will press often and a pressing space near your machine will come in very handy
- extension cord and/or outlet strip
