2. Starch and cut Background and Ombre fabrics into 2in x 2in squares. Once cut, these should be organized by Shade/value of color in either a Office Portable File Folder, or zip lock bags OR any method that will organize and keep the 2 in squares readily available to use.

Design your OWN cross-stitch flower quilt! In this 6-hour class, we will learn how to transform a photo of a flower into a cross-stitch inspired quilt. Students will tackle three main elements: design, construction & color. Using only free online design resources, students will examine how to adapt a photo into a grid/cross-stitch quilt. Students will explore two ways of composing the cross-stitch flower Quilt, one with simple squares and another with foundation paper piecing, while constructing a sample mini flower quilt using the efficient and "quilt preview" canvas of fusible grid interfacing. Students will play with color composition and structure while using an array of color values and hues to bring their cross-stitch flower quilts to life!
