Striped Fabric Workshop
Striped Fabric Workshop
Feb. 11, 2023
Have you ever wondered how to use striped fabric effectively?
Do you have striped fabric in your stash that is just waiting to be used?
This workshop will give you some ideas on how to cut your striped fabric into useful blocks for a quilt top. At January’s meeting, see 2 samples of quilts made by Lorraine Hare & Barb Wenton.
- Lorraine’s idea from Missouri Star is to use 1 ¼ yard of striped fabric which will make the center of a quilt top approximately 35” square, you’ll need additional border fabric to coordinate with the center.
- Barb’s idea from Jordan Fabrics is to use 1 2/3 yard of striped fabric which will make 24 blocks to make the center of a quilt top approximately 36” x 54” (throw size).
- Or use 1 yard of striped fabric which will make 12 blocks to make the center of a quilt top approximately 30” x 40” (baby quilt size) (not including borders for either). Jordan Fabrics tutorial used fabric with striated streaks of variegated colors
You may want to watch 2 tutorials on YouTube or both companies’ websites:
“Quartered Stripes Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star”
“Cutting Corners tutorial by Donna Jordan of Jordan Fabrics”
If you plan to attend the workshop, decide which type of top you want to make and bring yardage required, along with any border fabric you want to use, if any. We will have a sign-up sheet at January’s meeting, or just let Lorraine or Barb know if you are coming by phone, text or e-mail.
