Bumbletees’ February/March Quilt Class 
with Betty Nowak 
A Square Within A Square

IMG_6751IMG_6752
IMG_6755IMG_6754
Fridays, February 26th & March 4th, 9:30am-12:30pm
Come join us for the mornings of Friday, February 26th and March 4th to make this beautiful quilt with Betty Nowak. The finished quilt size is 56” x 56” square. 45$ for first week. 60$ for both weeks.
The fabric requirements are:
Quilt Top:
7/8 yard of five different fabrics
Quilt Back:
3 1/2 yds of fabric, if using one fabric for the back
OR
1 3/4 yds plus extra fabric, if piecing the back
Binding:
1/2 yd of fabric
Other materials: Batting- should measure 4″ longer and wider than the finished quilt top, basic quilters’ sewing supplies, including a quilters’ ruler 18-24″ long.
If you want to make it scrappier, which would be a great look, you should figure that 1/2 yd of fabric will yield four squares (which forms one large block), and enough inner stripes to use in another large block.  So, you would need to get 1/2 yd of fabric for each color used in the quilt.
