Coming Home Quilt Supply List
Skill Level - Intermediate
Finished Quilt Size 41” x 41”
This project has been a huge honor for me. I was touched when Island Batik asked me to be a part of the design team and help build quilts that would raise money for our returning Veterans. 10% from the sale of this pattern or kit is donated in addition to all the money raised from the “Quilted in Honor” Batiks. Thank you for your contribution!
This workshop is broken into two independent sections.
One, the cutting and assembly of the red and white burst background, and the second is the creating of the appliqué of the Bald Eagle.
It is strongly recommended that you cut all your pieces for the template and piecing strips first. Please set them aside, and prepare to work on the appliqué first. This will prevent you from accidentally positioning all your appliqué pieces on the fabrics in the space you needed for the strips. For Class, please trace and cut all appliqué pieces at home before the workshop.
Please do not cut or stitch any of the fabrics for the background red and white burst, we will start here in class.
