I recommend using fat quarters or half-yards for a wholecloth quilt like this one  (A quilt in which there is no piecing is called a wholecloth quilt). I chose half-yards of three beautiful japanese fabrics.

Fabric - Lecien's Arizona Rabbit Patchwork for the top and Red for the binding; Lecien's Le Petite Jardin for the quilt back

Batting - I chose a thin cotton batting that would give some definition but not too much fluffiness. 

Thread - This project calls for machine and hand sewing thread.  Both are made from cotton, but the hand sewing thread is coated to keep it from tangling as you sew the quilt binding.  I found this to be a miraculous development, personally! You can see in the photo that the peach colored thread has a little shine to it -- that's the one for hand sewing.

Basting Pins - For bigger projects I like to hand baste with needle and thread, but for this little guy all I needed was a few basting pins to get the job done.  Note their handy curves that set them apart from regular safety pins.  Subtle, but important!

Patchwork Pins - Pam told us that she refers to these dainty glass-head pins as "Life-Changing Pins".  I couldn't agree more!  There is such a thing as the right tool for the job.

You might also want a clear acrylic ruler for cutting, and some hem clips for binding.
