Little Bit Quilt Yardage Amounts
Because of the many different sizes of class projects for this class, the Fabric Requirements are listed in a pdf file.
Note: We want the quilting to show in the class project! Please choose solid color fabrics or fabrics that "read" like a solid. Avoid busy prints and heavily printed fabrics.

Other things you will need to complete the class project
Piecing
You will need basic sewing supplies and basic sewing/quilting skills to piece the quilt top.
The Little Bit pattern requires elongated triangles. There are several ways to make these triangles both with and without special piecing templates / rulers. In this class I will show you BOTH ways to make these elongated triangles.
The rulers I used are -
The Peaky & Spike by Marti Michelle and the Tri Rex Ruler by EZ Quilting.
Both of these rulers should be readily available at your local quilt shop or "big box" fabric store. If you are unable to find these rulers locally, you can purchase them by Clicking Here
Quilting
Thread: Use what ever type of thread you and your machine are comfortable working with. Use as many colors of threads as you want on this quilt.
Other items you may want to have on hand to make your quilting easier
- 6 x 24 inch quilting ruler to make straight registration lines, or any other straight edge ruler that fits the workspace of your machine
- piecing template plastic. We will be making shapes for marking some of our quilting lines. This will be discussed in the class video.
All of the quilting on the Little Bit quilt is done free hand! We will also be using markers to mark the registration lines of our quilting. Below is information about the markers I use in my quilting.
Markers: We are going to make registration lines to mark the placement and boundaries of our quilting designs.
You will need a marker that you are comfortable using on a quilt top. I recommend the Mark B Gone, water soluble (blue) marker on light fabrics and a Chalk O Liner with Miracle Chalk powder in it for dark fabric. I also like using Crayola Fine Line Washable Markers.
Please note that the Crayola markers wash out with detergent and warm water. The Crayola Fine Line Washable markers can be found at nearly every office supply store and many other stores including most grocery stores. A package of 8 markers is usually less than $5.
I use the Crayola markers only on my own quilts, NEVER, EVER on a customer quilt!
If you would like to practice your quilting before stitching, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you get a piece of clear Plexiglas that will fit in the workspace of your quilting machine. (Plexiglas of this size should be about $10 or less.)
Before using the Plexiglas, take either masking or duct tape (which now comes in many different colors) and place it over the cut edges of your piece of the Plexiglas. The tape serves two purposes. 1) It protects the edges of the Plexiglas. Sometimes the edges can be a little sharp and could scratch you or tear the quilt. 2) The tape will also make a boundary or edge around the Plexiglas. This will prevent you from drawing off the edge of the Plexiglas.

You will then use markers - I recommend the Vis-a-Vis markers, available at all "big box" office supply stores, for marking on the Plexiglas. (Note: the Vis-a-Vis markers usually have 5 in a package and cost less than $10.) The marker is removed using a damp paper towel. See below left.
For marking on Plexiglas on top of dark fabric, I have found that the Expo Bright Markers work very well. See below right.
Both of these markers can be purchased in major office supply stores such as Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, etc. They can also be purchased online.

REMEMBER this is a LEARNING project! This project does not need to be perfect. World peace does not depend on perfect piecing or quilting!!
