Peppered Cotton Bed Quilt
fons & porter's love of quilting

Peppered cotton is a "shot" cotton fabric with a distinct warp and weave. The shimmery effect makes a striking quilt, and has the added benefit of having no "wrong" side, so it's worth using...Even if it unravels easily! On this episode, you'll learn techniques for handling this fabric, hear strip-piecing and foundation piecing tips, and find out the correct way to attach long strips to prevent waviness.
