Quilt ‘Til You Wilt!

Ann Cummings

Starting in September, use your scraps and those available at CQ to create one of the most popular quilt patterns ever, the log cabin. Ann Cummings will show you how to chain-piece multiple blocks at a time. You will be surprised at how many you can make in one sitting. Before you know it, you will have enough blocks for whatever size quilt you want to make! With so many fabulous layouts you will never get tired of making log cabin blocks. Ann will also share tips on how to make two-color and controlled-scrappy log cabin quilts.

This quilt is a wonderful stash buster…  Or you can use the CQ scrap bins to make the quilt top without having to buy more fabric.  You will also be taught how to use the AccuQuilt cutting system to make your quilt top even faster.

Potluck supper! Please bring a favorite dish to share.

Be comfy!  Wear your most comfortable clothes or even PJs!  (We will be holding our UFO PJ Party at the same time.)  Slippers are highly encouraged.

Materials:
- Sewing machine (some machines are available for use at CQ–call ahead to reserve one)
- Neutral thread* (this is an excellent use of all those bobbins with leftover colored threads)
- ¼ inch foot with guide*
- Square ruler that is approximately the size of your finished block*
- Small cutting mat*
- Rotary cutter*
- Scissors*
- At least a FQ (fat quarter)* for your center squares–red is most common but fabric can be any color.
- Border and binding fabric* can be chosen later
*These items are available for use and/or may be purchased at the studio.

Skill Requirements: This offering is perfect for beginner through advanced quilters.  You only need to know how to use a sewing machine and sew in a straight line.  We will show you the rest!
