This is the last Stripping on the Blvd Class for the year 2008. This is the end of our 2nd year, WOW….how the time has flown by and what fun we have had. And the finished quilts have been OUTSTANDING.
This class will begin at 9am and go until 4pm, so that we can Share Quilts that we have made during the year and also take time to have lunch. Those of you who are NEW, will love seeing all the quilts that this group has completed.
Pot Luck – Salad Bar – I will provide the LETTUS and everyone can bring the goodies
that will go into our salad, including your favorite salad dressing.
This month, just for the fun-of-it, we are going to be doing a MYSTERY QUILT…..
The finished size of this quilt is 60” X 60” and is a SCRAPPY QUILT.
It’s FUN, FAST, and EASY and really GREAT looking!
You will need:
•Approximately 1 yard - Assorted LIGHT/LIGHT Prints for the background.
You will need 14 – 3” strips, Sub-cut strips into (128) 3” X 3” squares and set aside. You will have fabric left over. If you wish, you can use ONE print, but for a SCRAPPY LOOK, use assorted prints, small to medium print size.
• 2 Yards Total - MEDIUM DARKS to DARK DARKS – these must have a DEFINITE contrast from you LIGHT/LIGHT.
Suggestion: Reds, Golds, Greens and Blacks for the blocks. These must be darker then the background fabric. You will be grouping these strips according to color sets. (**YOU CAN PICK YOUR OWN COLORS if you wish…being sure to pick FOUR Color ranges)
You will be cutting these into varying size strips, - 1” to 2 ½”.
**FOR THOSE OF YOU who just want to pick fabrics from their stashes, this quilt can be made very scrappy, forgetting about the color sets! JUST remember, that your fabric MUST be MEDIUM DARK to DARK DARKS. There MUST BE a definite contrast to the BACKGROUN fabric.
CHECK OUT YOUR STASHES…this is a good quilt for using up all those pieces that you didn’t know what you were going to do with! Remember, all you need is 1” to 2 ½” Strips. Vary the sizes……
I always suggest that you purchase your BORDER, BINDING AND BACKING
fabric…..after you see what your quilt top looks like. You will be using left over strips for the outer border, if you wish!

Our Gurantee to you. We have such faith in all our instructors, that if you take one of our classes and you feel that you have not learned what we promised, we will issue you a full refund, but we will ask that you state in writing what you felt we lacked.
This quilt offers a unique twist on the traditional Flying Geese pattern. By offsetting the blocks, you’ll
create a space for a center square. This square could be a plain fabric, but don’t overlook the
opportunity to fussy-cut a floral or novelty print, or use a photo transfer. Each block consists of four
Flying Geese units—one pointing north, one west, one south, and one east. If Simple Simon met a
pie man going to the fair, he’d certainly get lost with this block guiding his way!
