1. Fabric
        For a 16" wall quilt, you needs at least 5 fat quarters (FQ, 18" x 22" piece).  3 for top and binding, 1 for border, 1 for backing.
2. Needles and Pins
        If you buy some, pick "applique sharp" for piecing and "between" for quilting.   Longer pins are very helpful to hold pieces together.
