Fabric requirements for a one day class: scraps will work. If you
don't have any, bring 6 fat quarters in a variety of darks, lights and
mediums as well as 1/2 yard of muslin or tone on tone.
 Fabric
requirements for a two day class depends on the quilt you choose to make
and the method you choose to make your flying geese. For example,
the quilt to the left (Sally  Ward's
Woes), which finishes at 90" x 90", will use 6 yards of
background, 4 yards green, 4 yards red and 1 yard gold (more or less.) The
woven stars quilt to the right finishes 60" x 72" and will need
4 yards of background and 1 yard each of the four colors in the star, plus
an additional yard for the border (more or less.) When in doubt,
bring extra fabric. (Click on the picture thumbnail to see these up
