Pre-cutting the fabrics is a mandatory requirement prior to taking this course. Please begin preparing for class at least 3-WEEKS prior to the class to make sure that you are able to get familiar with your pattern and complete the pre-cutting before hand. We always recommend reading through your entire pattern before beginning.

Fabric Selection: This quilt was made using 21 light fabrics and 21 dark fabrics for the main blocks and outer border. Black strips are used to accent the rows and create the inner border. Refer to the yardage chart on the back of your pattern for the required fabric amounts. Note: If you are making Sample 2, refer to the yardage chart and Sample #2 Notes on page 7 of your pattern.

Preparing the Template Sheets: Please read the Templates, and Template Layout Sheets, and follow the intsructions under ‘Prepare the Template Layout Sheets’ on page 2 of your pattern.

Prepare the Foundation Papers: Please refer to Prepare the Foundation Papers on page 2 of your pattern. You only need to cut out one page each of Unit M and Unit B before class. Judy will demonstrate a faster method of cutting out the rest of your papers during class!
