Supply List For Let’s Polka 48” by 72”

You can actually make this quilt any size you would like, by just adding, or subtracting blocks, but I made this supply list for a 48” by 72” throw.

sewing machine
pins
piecing thread
scissors
rotary cutter/mat (I prefer at least a 18” by 24” mat), you may prefer to set up shared cutting stations
pencil for marking light fabrics, and marking tool for dark fabrics
I piece fine grain sand paper, minimum size, 8” square
square ruler (7” minimum)
If you have a long ruler, you may find it useful to bring, but I don’t think it would be necessary to buy one
Ironing Board/Iron can be shared among several participants
Let’s Polka Pattern (costs $7, but I will bring them)

Fabric

2 ½ yards assorted dots-variety in size and spacing of dots adds interest
2 ½ yards assorted stripes
2 ½ yards assorted solids
The more variety you have the better, fat quarters would work well.

Class participants have brought all kinds of other types of fabrics, and I love to see their innovations, but the use of stripes is a substantial part of what I will be teaching, so class participants may find it helpful to have at least some fabrics that look like a stripe on hand to play with. You won’t need the full 2 ½ yds during the class. Just make sure you have enough to play with. You can always add more variety later on. You will need at least some pieces that are 7 ½” squares.
