Harvest Quilt Along - Fabric Requirements

Time to shop your stash or shop your favorite quilt store in order to gather up the fabrics you'll need for your very own Harvest quilt.

My sample used 7 primary fabrics for all the blocks and then I used 2 other fabrics for the accent strips.   

For this quilt, there are several options for gathering your fabrics.

Need an excuse to go fabric shopping?   Here is your shopping list:

• Seven (7) fat quarters including orange(s) for the pumpkins and red(s) for the apples.  (Your accent strips will come from the fat quarters)
• 1 ¼ yards background fabric
• 1 yard backing fabric
• 1/3 yard binding fabric
• Small piece of fusible for applique

Want to shop your stash and go super scrappy?  Here is your gather list:

• 1 ¼ yards background fabric
  
• 1 yard backing fabric
• 1/3 yard binding fabric
• Small piece of fusible for applique

For the fall fabrics, you can use this table to build your super scrappy fabric pile. 

For example, for the Churn Dashes, you'll need 5 fabrics, each 5 x 5 '' - a leftover charm square would work nicely.  

Another example, for the Spool, you'll need 3 fabric scraps, each 6 ½ x 5 ½ ''.

Many of these blocks are charm pack friendly as well.

Interested in matching the sample?

Pull 9 fabrics in all to make the blocks as noted here.
