X-Blocks Workshop
                                                           Supply List

    This workshop will cover a variety of design possibilities using the X-Blocks rotary cutting tool.
     Large prints and stripes are ok - fabrics that work well together. Try to bring  at least 1  medium-large print. 
     Some contrast is necessary in your fabrics but it doesn’t have to be strong. 
     To check contrast, place fabrics next to each other and stand 10 -15 feet away.
     If they blend together, you need higher contrast.   

                   Boring fabric = boring quilts!
                 Be bold and daring!  This is fun!
