Hello! If the fabric bundle options aren’t quite what we want, are the measurements listed accurate for us to take to the fabric store with us?ReplyCancel
- MeredithMarch 29, 2019 - 2:24 pm
  Hi there, Kim! Let me write them here for you because a regular fabric store is likely to sell mainly 44” wide fabric which would change the measurements slightly since the Liberty lawn is wider.
  
  From the center square outward:
  1/4 yard (center) either a 1/4 strip or fat quarter cut is fine
  1/4 yard (second fabric)
  1/2 yard (third fabric)
  1 yard (outermost fabric)
  1 1/4 yard backing
  1/2 yard binding ReplyCancel

What is the cost to buy the kits? Also, do u use batting in between the top and backing of the quilt?ReplyCancel
- MeredithApril 5, 2019 - 8:33 am
  We will use batting, but I plan to talk more about that next week, so I haven’t mentioned it here. The kits are either $50 or $55, and there are just a few left. You can click right on the pictures to reach those links. ReplyCancel

I’m hoping that these classes and kits are still available.

I really want to start a beginner class. I’m getting my sewing machine on the 22nd of this month. When I get paid. Do you have any thoughts on machines. I’ve been making a couple purses and some layering fabrics. The “hand me down” machine doesn’t really work well with those jobs. Please let me know. Thanks kelleyReplyCancel

  The classes in their entirety are written out here on my blog. The videos are only available on Facebook right now, but nothing is mentioned there that isn’t already laid out in the posts here on the blog. :) ReplyCancel

Is it best to always have squares instead of rectangles?ReplyCancel
- MeredithMarch 22, 2023 - 10:39 pm
  Do you mean for the quilt design? Rectangles are just as easy as squares. We have just gone with this design because it’s classic and straightforward, but you can certainly use rectangles instead if you can get the measurements down. :) ReplyCancel

    Thanks so much

that favorite piece of clothing

When you have a garment you just can’t live without, try taking one apart so you can make as many as you want! That’s what I did with my favorite shirt!
