[218] Tuesday, October 29 - Cinco de Mayo
15-20 or more fat quarters. Include enough variety of hue, value and scale to achieve contrast. Also consider one or more multi-colored prints you love.
Basic sewing supplies, including good fabric scissors, and scissors or a box cutter for paper.

[345] Wednesday, October 30 - Organizing Color in Scrap Quilts
Some fabric! 20 or more (more is definitely more) fat quarters (or equivalent)
No need to organize ahead or overthink this - it’s fine to grab things you love randomly.
It’s great if you: bring things neatly folded, include things you love but are afraid to cut, or just bring your shopping bag!
It’s not so great if you bring only one designer line or genre of fabrics (like all tula pink or all batiks). Our goal is to find YOUR voice by working these wonderful things into a context of things you love.
