Quilting #2...

Well in hopes you have gathered some supplies I will reiterate some things I said before.
Gather 3 different colors of material, and one with some type of print that coordinates with the other two. You will need approx. 2 yards each and iron on ironing board. The first thing you will need to do is to gently wash the material for shrinkage purposes. Do it on a gentle cycle and I would suggest you use masking table along the edges to prevent raveling as it is washing and drying. In addition take the material out before it is "completely" dry" to help you iron it easier. When ready to iron fold in half length wise. As you iron make sure the edges match....when you are done folding and ironing reducing the size of each piece you will begin cutting. Bu this is your first assignment. Continue ironing. folding and refolding until there are approx 6-8 layers. No more than that. The cutters should have no problem getting through it. We will begin cutting in tomorrows message. But for now wash iron fold and get your sewing area ready :D
