TRIANGLES: ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

This class covers scrap quilt theory, designing on a wall, and my method for the precise piecing of half-square triangle, quarter-square triangle and three-in-a-square triangle units.  Students will use the triangle units created in class to make five different blocks suitable for use in scrap quilts.  Setting possibilities for each of the blocks will be discussed. This class does not have a project but provides sample blocks and inspiration for many quilts. If you know how to sew a quarter inch seam and use a rotary cutter you may take this class.
  
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS (I have given the minimum amount.  Feel free to bring more.)

I would like for you to bring fabrics from your stash. You may bring yardage, fat quarters or scraps that are at least 9" x 20" (1/2 of a fat quarter).  Please make sure your choices are 100% good quality cotton, washed and pressed.  Don't cut anything before class. I want to discuss your choices first.

Minimum fabric for class: 9 scraps 9" x 20", (3 light, 3 medium, 3 dark)

When selecting fabrics from your stash consider fabrics with many colors and textures.  The medium and dark fabrics should not have large white or tan spots.  Don't bring solids, batiks, 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. We are playing with fabric and learning and about scrap quilts. Don’t worry too much about your choices. Check Workshops at www.lynnroddybrown.com for a picture of the blocks.
