SUPPLY LIST

Jodi Barrows Square in a Square ORIGINAL Ruler

Jodi Barrows Quick & Easy Quilt book (normally packaged with the ruler)

Rotary Cutter with a new blade, cutting mat and a 6 X 24 ruler for cutting strips,

FABRIC SUPPLIES

NOTE: This quilt is designed to be “scrappy”, using 11 different print fabrics in the blocks.  It can also be made with just two fabrics, one being a neutral.  Stitch N Time staff can assist you with yardage should you elect to use a smaller number of fabrics in your quilt.

The fabric requirements listed are as per the pattern, Quilt size approx 58” X 67”

Neutral or background fabric2 ½ yards

1/3 yard each of 11 fabrics for the blocks (just under 4 yards total fabric)

For Borders, 3 fabrics: 1) 1 yard for middle border, 2) 3/4 yard for outer border, and 3) 1 yard for inner border.

Binding is 1 yard, backing is 4 yards.

To make the quilt like the sample, I got extra yardage and pieced the extra for my backing, pieced borders and pieced binding.  I got 1 yard each of 11 fabrics (to take advantage of the 20% off per yard @ Stitch N Time), and 6 yards of the background fabric.  This gave me the pieced top, all borders, backing and binding, with fabric left over.
