Pieceful Sunday: Making Kits for the Dessert Time Workshop!

This week on Pieceful Sunday, I am making fabric kits for my first workshop: Learn How to Make a Quilt. I discussed this adventure last week on Pieceful Sunday. I am really excited about teaching this class and helping other people learn to quilt. I will be teaching a simplified version of the Dessert Time pattern by Quilt in a Day. A photo of the quilt is below.

The Workshop Quilt Will be 45" x 58" and Is a Variation of the Dessert Time Pattern.

 
The quilt requires:

• 20 different 10" squares in coordinated light and medium/dark fabrics for the half-squares triangles.
• 36  2 1/2 " strips that are 22" long for the outer border.
• 5  2 1/2 strips that are the width of fabric for the inner border.
• 4  6 1/2" squares for the corners.

Since this is a beginner's class, I decided to make fabric kits available. The fabrics in each kit will vary, but the fabrics within each kit will be coordinated. Participants can cut their own fabric if they wish, but I thought that having the fabric kits would simplify the workshop for these beginning quilters. I have the 10" square die and the 2 1/2" strip die from Accuquilt (Affiliate LInk). Using the dies to make the kits has greatly reduced the required assembly time.

The photo below shows my kit making system.
