Fabric requirements:
I've had a few good questions about collecting your fabrics...
my quilt top is aprox 50" square.
I used 1/4 - 1/2 yard of, i think, 9 different fabrics...
Depending on which ones I wanted more of or less of in the quilt top.
Some asked about Jelly rolls, I would say this:
You need to be able to cut various size of strips.
We will not be using a ruler to cut these strips...
A rotary cutter to randomly cut strips is all we need.
we want wonky wavy strips... from 1" to about 2 1/2 or 3" strips, and long is best...
I have some scraps left over but not a lot...

if you read this, send me your email... thanks!
I suggest you keep it to solids, or blender prints... (subtle fabrics with small designs)
My preference, I am loving the solids... I don't do it very often...
But ultimately that choice is yours...
I tried busier scraps, and a blender, and solids on this little piece...
You decide.

Fun colors...I am hoping to find the "perfect" turquoise before starting this....if not then what I have will just have to do!
I love the randomness of varied strips. It definitely adds interest to a quilt.
so scraps would work, right? i love the little sample done up in prints, too. how fun is that? i may just have to do one of each. (what else do i have to do, anyway? it's snowing again!!!) i'm so excited about this!!!
Hi, I'd like to give the waverunner a try. Can I still join in?

i would love to do your waverunner! from sweetypie50@hotmail.co.uk
