• Flange Binding- Two 1/8 yard pieces of fabric that look nice together, maybe a print and a solid

• TWO quilted fat quarter samples* or something small to practice binding (think placemat size) (*Sandwich two fat quarters with a piece of batting in between and quilt it. An all over meander or some parallel lines are fine; we don’t need anything fancy. NOTE: One of these will be cut up, so please just use scraps or old fat quarters for the sandwich)
