I can’t give away the mystery, but I want to give you some fabric pointers.

The supplies listed are minimum fabric requirements.
Here are some helpful hints for selecting your fabric.

Teal and Green have to work together well as they are used in close proximity.  Choose fabrics with some contrast, but not on opposite ends of the value spectrum.  One or both of the colors can be a print.

Purple Accent is a dark value

Light and Bright have to work together well as they are used in close proximity.  Choose fabrics with some contrast, but not on opposite ends of the value spectrum.  One or both of the colors can be a print.

Background fabric can be light or dark, but all other colors have to contrast with the background.

Notion Commotion Blog Hop - Bias Binding Simplified Ruler

Good Morning - Today its our turn to blog about a Notion discovered at Quilt Market. My special featured tool is a ruler:    Bias Binding Simplified, designed by Janice Pope for Creative Grids . I can’t wait to show it to my students since it makes bias binding so easy .  Best of all, the ruler has all the instructions printed right on it, so there is never a question on how to use it.     It is 21” long on it’s longest side and has a 45° angle on one side, it is 2½” wide with an added 2¼” line for cutting binding in two sizes. Why even worry about Bias Binding? - Bias Binding is much stronger than straight-of-grain binding and absolutely essential to bind quilts with rounded corners or curvy edges.  Bias binding will smooth out around curves and make the binding lay flat and pucker free.  Once you use bias binding you will want to use it for most of your quilts -  I definitely do, even for small quilts and table runners. Here is another fun use for the ruler
