To get started you will need one yard of fabric, i.e. green print. Add another yard to tan fabric print, and another 1/3 yard of blue and yellow, peach, and -rust. You need at least 128 x 36 inches of pieces of fabric that coordinate. This will make up your background. Purchase another traditional-weight piece of batting in the same dimension as the background material. Add 4 yards of coordinated quilt binding fabric, and gather all-purpose thread to complete your task.


Throughout the process, you will need rotary cutters, scissors, needles, thread, thimble, pins, pincushion, and so on. The cutters will assist you with cutting -inch seam allowances throughout your quilting experience. If you do not cut the as advised, your quilt will come out uneven.

The C block should amount to 28 and measure to 1 x 2 inches. D amounts to 52 and measures at 1 x 1 inches; E is eight counts and 2 x 2 inches.
