 | Beginners Sampler quilt Requirements
Sampler Quilt Requirements
It is difficult to dictate exactly what you will need for this quilt, your use of fabric in the different blocks will determine that some fabrics get used more than others.
Here are a few guidelines
1. do make sure that some of your fabrics are repeatable (ie you can get more if you need to)
2. All fabric to be 100% dress weight cotton pre - washed and ironed
3. That you have a range of tone - light, medium and dark.
4. You must 'Like' your fabrics - you will be working on this for several months.
5. That your fabrics 'link' in some way.
This is a vague list of what you might start with - it should not limit you, this is the fabric to do the blocks - it is not the fabric for the ' sashing' (in between the blocks) or the 'border' )all around the blocks). Although you may find you want more of one or two of these choices to use in the sashing and /or border.
A. ,Approx 5 or 6 fabrics 0.5m of each. They should link together in some way. A good way of doing this is finding a fabric you really like (pref. with 2, 3 or 4 colours in it), and use that as a guide when choosing the others.
B. You will also need 1m of a 'background fabric', this will be used in several of the blocks as a backing for designed applied to it.
C. Rotary cutting kit - board, ruler (24.5 x 6.5) rotary cutter. You may later on want a square ruler for 'squaring up your blocks.
D. Template plastic and fine permanent marker
E. Sewing machine in good working order, with 1/4" patchwork foot, walking foot and darning foot.
Later on you wil need
1M Framing Fabric
4M Sashing and border Fabric
0.75 x 2 Fabrics for border squares
5.5M backing fabric
4.5 M Cotton wadding
Fabric marking pens/pencils,

 | Stack and Whack Requirements
Stack and Whack requirements
Kaleidoscope Pinwheel
You will need the following amount of fabric depending on the fabric repeat. To work out the repeat measure the print along one selvedge from the beginning of one motif to the beginning of another, that is your repeat length. You will notice that shorter repeat lengths require less metres. This does not mean that short repeat lengths are your best choice unless expense is your primary concern. As a rule you will get a more effective Kaleidoscope blocks with longer design reoeats (11" or longer). Please note you will have some 'left overs' from this project , you will be able to enlarge your quilt with these if you want to or make 'matching' cushions.
Repeat Fabric for Pinwheels Fabric for background Borders
7" - 10" 2.5 Metres 2 Metres 1 Metre
11" - 14" 3.5 Metres 2 Metres 1 Metre
15" - 20" 5 Metres 2 Metres 1 Metre
21" - 27" 6.75 Metres 2 Metres 1 Metre
over 27" 8 repeats 2 Metres 1 Metre
Choose your fabrics with the following criteria in mind. The main fabric is the one that forms the kaleidoscope effect, it sets the tone for the finished quilt. Large florals and leaf prints work well. . Novelty prints such as animals fish and scenes. Look at the variety within the print itself, a large variety fabric will make an interesting block.
The background fabric should be either plain or an unobtrusive print so that the kaleidoscope really stands out.
