Supply List
Curved Piecing Made Easy
Michele Scott, Instructor
You can even curve your border!
Fabric
Assortment of coordinating fat quarters and half yards in light medium and dark. The amounts of each and number of different prints depends on how big you plan to design your wall hanging. For a 16" (approximately) wall hanging, you would want at least six different fat quarters.
If you plan anything bigger, go to half yards. If you are going to do a bigger wall hanging, make sure you get a decent supply of whatever you want your border to be. Purchase about a yard to be safe.
If you want to make it super scrappy, this is a good project to go into your stash and get bits and pieces of your favorite fabrics, making sure you have an equal number of lights, mediums and darks.
The sample showing the curved border is more complicated and done with Michele's hand-painted fabric. She will have many colors available on her Web site if you would like to purchase them there. If there is a specific color way you would like, just email. This project really lends itself to these fabrics.
The one shown on the Class List page is a less complicated pattern and uses prints that are more traditional.
