Do you need a quick quilt top for a gift?
Do you just need a quick quilting fix?

I have taught this class several times over the last few years, at retreats and
in other arenas.  Dozens of happy students are thrilled, with the quick and
easy, quilt top they make in this class.  You will be happy too, with your
completed quilt top.

Most quilters finish their quilt tops, in 4 or 5 hours.  

Fabric Supplies:
1 yard of a dark fabric
1 yard of a medium fabric
1 yard of border fabric
2 1/2 yards of  background fabric.
(Yardage is generous to allow for mis-cuts).

Please make sure you have a good contrast between the background fabric,
 the medium fabric and the dark fabric, to ensure the design of the pattern
will stand out.  Please see the samples below, and pick your fabrics
carefully.  Quilt top finishes at approximately 60 x 72, depending on your
borders.

Here are some pictures of the "Four Hour Quilt",  made in recent classes.  

Please note, the nice outcome of the quilt top, when there is a definite
contrast between the 3 fabrics. Or the notso nice outcome, when there is
busy background fabric, or when there is not a clear contrast, between the
medium fabric, the dark fabric and the background fabric.

Please see the quilts made and please pick your fabric combinations
carefully.

fabrics.  See the results, when there is
not enough contrast to your 3 fabrics.
