How to make a Bingo Card for Quilter's Bingo
Step One: Cutting Fabric to Share
We will be sharing fabrics. If you would like to share, please bring to the next meetings (November 16 and December 6) a strip of fabric cut into 2-1/2" squares.
Cut one 2-1/2" strip across the width of your fabric. Cut the strip into 2-1/2" squares.
So that we have a variety of fabrics, Elaine suggests bringing the following color according to the letter of the alphabet that begins your last name:
If your last name begins with:
| Letter | Bring | Color |
| A-B: | | purples |
| C-E: | | yellows |
| F-G: | | greens |
| H-K: | | reds |
| M-P: | | pinks |
| R-S: | | oranges |
| T-Z: | | blues |
