Pre-Class Preparation: 

1. Have all supplies as noted above.  Have your fabrics chosen and properly labeled (have questions – just ask!) We’ll be starting at the beginning!!
2. Decide if you are making the base pattern (finishes at 68” square but can be easily expanded to 80” or 99” square – but you need to decide early to ensure you have enough fabric to match your center quilt.)
3. Prepare your papers by doing the following:  Using a ruler & rotary cutter – cut 1/8” away from all the dark printed perimeter lines of your foundation units and your templates.  Do not cut ON or ACROSS any printed line at this time -- only around the perimeters!!!!!  If you understand the “bag system” – refer to the instructions and place your papers in the appropriate bags – if not – just keep them together and we’ll sort them in class.
4. Have all fabrics pressed and make note which color you want where in your design.  If you feel confident – you can have your fabrics pre-cut and bagged per the notes below.  If not – no worries.  We will be addressing the fabric cutting technique in class. We’ll be starting with Groups A, B and F for sewing.  All use basic cutting and foundation paper piecing techniques.
5. Visit the Quiltworx website (www.quiltworx.com) and click on Products  Corrections and print out the corrections for your pattern.  Compare the corrections to your pattern and make notes (if necessary) of the changes.  NOTE:  Your pattern may be from a later printing and thus the corrections have already been made.  But it is important to ALWAYS check for corrections before beginning your project!)
