Also bring a half yard of light and a half yard of dark fabric that you will cut up and combine.  This is only for experimentation and can be a solid black and a solid white. My philosophy is this:  If you use fabrics you really love, even when you are experimenting, the commitment level is higher, and you have a better chance of coming up with something you would like to continue working on and making into a finished quilt.  I'm hoping that you will go home with the beginnings of a quilt that you will want to develop into a finished piece.
