In class you will cut your fabric of choice to make 63 single petal flowers and a single path row with your throw 7 flowers across and 9 down. You will need about 2 yards of fabric for the path (solid color). Example - If you are using 1 inch hexagon you can get about 42 hexes from a fat quarter of fabric. If you want more of scrappy flowers, then bring a bag of scraps. You will also need 63 hexes for the center of your flowers. As this is all hand work you will not complete your throw by the end of this class. We will discuss different way to finish your throw.
