Workshops are offered from October - May. They are a great way to get to know fellow KVQG members, and learn something too! Cost will be specified for each workshop.

Generally, these expire after one year. To register, or for questions, please send an email to janemlane1858@icloud.com

Supply List
one or two layer cakes (42 - 10 inches squares per packages) depending on how big you want to make your quilt. I only used one. My quilt measures 55 inches wide by 72 inches long. Great for a lap quilt.
2 1/2 meters of background material or double that if you are using 2 layer cake packages.
1/2 meter material for your binding
Note: if you have your own material of different colours you want to use you will need to cut out 42 - 10 inches squares or more if you want it bigger. The more colours you have the scrappier it will look. This is a very easy quilt and there will be a secondary block that will be used in another smaller quilt. There will not be any leftover material
