Fabric Requirements

1 yard each of two different multi-colored, bilaterally symmetrical fabrics with 8 repeats. A fabric printed with 16 colors gets better results than one with five. The two fabrics should be different patterns, not necessarily matchy-matchy but work well together

Depending on the repeat size, this will be ample fabric for 3 to 4 blocks, which is sufficient for a 1-day class
