Fabrics: light weight loosely woven, lots of colorful cottons scraps.
Caution: Batiks are much more difficult to hand quilt due to the tight weave of the fabric and
you will be sewing through layers.
*This is a quilt as you go project. Please don’t agonize over threads & needles. I personally like the look of the thicker thread. However, you can use what you have on hand.
Preparation Prior to class:
Your backing fabric will determine the finished size of your Kawandi.
Fold and press outer edges of all four sides of backing fabric with 1 inch crease.
Place batting edges into the folds. Your quilt sandwich is 2/3’s complete!
