This traditional quilt is a square. And, it's absolutely EXQUISITE!
This is a minimum of TWO DAYS or Retreat workshop.
Select quality fabrics which are 42" - 44" wide.
Select either 2 colors, as shown - OR - choose to change colors or values with each Star.
Mine is a 111" x 111" King, or make it one 'round' smaller for a 56" x 56" medallion. You could add
borders to make this into an 80" x 100" Queen, though you get to figure that part out for yourself.
YARDAGE:
There are 2 sizes offered: a King and Medallion. Their yardage is shown in parenthesis as
(King, Medallion Center) The King is 111" x 111" and Medallion Center is 56" x 56".
Value 1 is the closest to the center.
White 1 - Center – (1/4 yd, 1/4 yd)
White 2 -(1-3/8 yds, 1-3/8 yds)
White 3 - (10-1/4 yds, 0 yd)
OR
Whites 1-3 (i.e. only 1 white) – (11-1/2 yds, 1-5/8 yds)
Blue 1 – (5/8 yd, 5/8 yd)
Blue 2 - (4-5/8 yds, 6-3/8yds)
OR
Blue 1-2 -(i.e. only 1 blue) - (5-1/8 yds, 7 yds)
(YES - this is correct!. If it's medallion size, the Blue becomes the
outer square corners and therefore needs more fabric.)
Binding - (7/8 yd) - only shown for King
Backing - (10-3/8 yds) - only shown for King
(not needed for class)
6" x 24" Ruler with 45-degree line on it
