Blooming Nine-Patch
Two-session class: Sunday afternoons, Sept 7 and Sept 21, 12:30PM - 4:30PM
This class is back by popular demand! Although this 72" x 82" (excluding borders) quilt looks complicated, it's actually very simple to make! This quilt is constructed of alternating Nine Patches and plain squares. The design starts in the center and moves outward, creating a look of the fabrics changing without actually being able to see the seams, or blocks, which create the change. As with many quilts, the fabric selection is the most important part of this quilt - large flowery or busy prints are perfect for this project!
Note: Jody will help participants select fabrics prior to the first day of class. Date(s): TBD
