Supply list for Improv Piecing

• About 1.5 yards of a neutral fabric for the background of your blocks. I used a bunch of different greys, but it would look really good with white as well

• Fat Quarter stack of pretty fabric or a Brown Grocery bag filled with your favorite scraps. 

• Sewing machine with quarter inch foot

• Cotton thread

• Fabric scissors

• Small thread snips

• Paper scissors

• Sharp rotary cutter

• Cutting mat

• Rulers (6x24 and 1x12 are my favorite)

• Seam ripper

• Pins

• A sketchbook or notebook

• Pencil

• $5 for class handout

*It will be helpful if you cut some fabric before class. Please bring these pieces already cut to speed class along.

• 28 background squares cut to 3.5 inches

• 12 strips of color/print fabric cut 1.5 X 22 inches

• 12 strips of fabric cut in 22 inches by varying widths (from 1.5 inches to 3 inches) 

• You will still need about 1 yard of background fabric and some scraps to work with in addition to the above cuttings.
