What makes a stripe interesting?
Ombre fabrics, colour gradations, varied stripe widths, and multi-coloured designs all work beautifully for this technique. Wide two-colour stripes can also be very effective. Two colour stripes should be at least 1" wide.

Note:
This is a technique-based class. The amount of fabric you’ll need depends on the repeat of your stripe, the size of your chosen square ruler, and the desired finished size of your quilt. Because fussy cutting can be unpredictable, it’s tricky to estimate exact yardage. You may find that 1 yard is enough for a small quilt.
