NOTE: Fabric MUST be cut prior to this class session........we will begin immediately with fusing and stitching your project. In addition to the fabrics listed below, you will need backing fabric that is approximately 18" x 54", and batting that is approximately 16" x 48", to quilt and bind your project at home.
Fabric #1: Choose sixteen pre-cut 'charm squares', such as Moda's Woodland Holiday OR cut sixteen 5" squares from your chosen fabric(s). The sample uses five 'fussy cut' squares that feature 'Santa' and 'Rudolph' from the Santa's Big Day fabric collection (1/2 yard), and 11 squares of a coordinating fabric (1/2 yard), cut from the Choir of Angels collection available at Byrd's Nest.
Fabric #2: 5/8 yard. Choose a fabric that coordinates (or contrasts) with your 5" squares. From this fabric, cut six 1 3/4" x width of fabric (WOF) strips. Sub-cut two of these strips into fourteen 1 3/4" x 5" strips.
Fabric #3: 1 1/2 yards. You will have enough left over to make a second table runner at home!
Batting: 1 1/2 yards of low loft cotton batting or fusible fleece. The sample used fusible fleece.
