Cheese Platter - 2 Day Workshop

    Choices - Choices - Choices!  This pattern offers lots of opportunity to "Customize" your quilt, from colour choices to what size you would like to make.  

    The quilt in the pattern book is 66" x 66", but add a border and it could be 77" x 77" or make ti 52" x 66" using fewer blocks and then add a border to bump it up to 62" x 77" (this is what we did for the class sample!)  

Dates:

Tuesday/Wednesday, June 11 & 12, 9-4
OR
Friday/Saturday, July 5 & 6, 9-4
OR
Thursday/Friday, August 8 & 9, 9-4

Location; Newmarket
 

And then there are colour choices for each area of the quilt:

The Checkerboard:

• Choose between Scrappy coloured fabrics or organized colours
• Using 2 1/2" strips of fabrics or individual 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares of fabric

The Stars:

• Choose to make the star points all the same fabric (recommended) or scrappy
• Choose to make the star centers scrappy or organized

The Border:

• Choose to add a border or not

The Background:

• It is best to use only one fabric to let the checkerboard and the stars "shine"

Once you have made your decisions, you are ready to organize your supplies.
