Come in and learn a fun way to make a scrappy table runner using a Layer Cake. For those not familiar with Layer Cakes, they are bundles of fabric pre-cut in 10″ squares. Normally you receive one or two of each print in a line of fabric or a theme of fabric. For instance my quilt is in Halloween fabric. If you don’t or can’t make a run to a Quilt store to pick up a Layer Cake, all is not lost, you can order them online or cut your own. The key here is that you want to have 10″ squares and you want a variety of fabrics without any repeats. This is a great way to clean out your stash of Fat Quarters.
For every 10″ square you start with, you will have one 8-1/2″ Bordered Square block when you are done. So if you only want to learn the technique, then bring a minimum of three 10″ squares to class.
