12 fat quarters make a quilt!

What a great day it was last Saturday week (how confusing does that sound??)!!

8 participants turned 12 fat quarters (3 metres of fabric) into a quilt top...

In one day everyone had their blocks made.. and only Monica's sewing machine overheated and stopped working!! (Although, Natasha says her machine was giving off a burning smell)...

We had to "force" everyone to down their tools to have a break for lunch!! LOL!!

Wendy's fabric

Tate's fabric

Natasha's fabric

Fiona's fabric

I missed photographing a few of the fabrics before the girls got started with the cutting... (Jim and I attended customers, while Sandra ran the class).. I thought, oh well, I'll get photos of the finished quilts.. but a couple of people snuck out without a piccie! Ah well, I hope we will see their quilts soon.

Monica has already brought hers in to work on the borders!!

Sylvia used Farmer's Market fat quarters

Tate selected a collection of pretty greens and pinks from the shelves. This is her first quilt (she is 13).



Sue loves purples - this is her first quilt.

Natasha chose Chelsea Manor fabrics for her first quilt.

Annette used Symphony fabrics - the class and some of the fabric were a gift from her work colleagues.

Fiona chose 1930s fabrics from the shelves. Black 1930s prints add an authentic feel as all the real quilts in the 30s contained some black.
