TEXAS TWO-STEP  WILD WEST SHUFFLE
	                                       Scrap Lap Quilt

 Blocks are 8" finished.  You will need 35, 36, or 48 depending on the set you choose.

Quilt Size – Set: 5 blocks by 7 blocks (40” X 56” without borders) or
                           6 blocks by 6 blocks  ( 48” X 48” without borders) or
                           6 blocks by 8 blocks (48" x 64" without borders)
 
In this class I would like to teach scrap quilt theory, designing on a wall, and precise piecing.
Because the block has a diagonal line, there are many setting possibilities. If you know how to sew a quarter inch seam and use a rotary cutter you may take this class.
  
I want this to be a no pressure fun day of learning.  I have four versions of his quilt.  There are many more.  I would like for you to bring fabrics from your stash, learn the technique, learn about fabric selection for scrap quilts and then decide if you want to continue with a very scrappy quilt or use one of the other options.  Since all the blocks made in class will be scrap they could be combined into a donation quilt.  This way you don't go home with another unfinished project.  Of course, if you love your blocks you will have a good start on an easy to piece quilt.  Check Workshops at www.lynnroddybrown.com for photo of Wild West Shuffle. 

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

All "scraps" used for class must be at least 5.5" X 20".  This is approximately one third of a fat quarter.  Do not cut them before coming to class.  I want to discuss your choices first.

For class you will need:   8 light fabrics and 8 medium/dark fabrics  (bringing more is suggested)

Please make sure your choices are 100% good quality cotton, washed and pressed

When selecting fabrics from your stash consider fabrics with many colors and textures.  The medium/dark fabrics should not have large white or tan spots.  Don't bring solids or moda marbles.  Please limit tone on tones to those with visual texture.  Light fabrics have white, beige or pastel backgrounds.  For lights a small pattern usually  works best.  Don't try to coordinate your choices.
