The aim of this class is to put a few more tools in your toolbox:

• We will be looking at fabrics and use of colour with the help of the colour wheel to choose your pallet of fabrics to create the most eye catching quilt.

• Teach you a range of techniques including accurate 4-patch and 9-patch piecing; tricks with foundation paper piecing flying geese and half square triangles; curved piecing and appliqué techniques by machine.

• Applying the knowledge of the techniques you have learned, you will design your own quilt, focussing on block choice, layout and using colour or shape to tie it all together.

• In the final class you will learn the importance of different threads and weights and apply this to quilting an assortment of feathers - whether on this project or another.

All these techniques are a more modern take on what you may have learned at the beginning of your quilting journey. Some are very easy and beautifully accurate, some a very clever and others you may never use again! 

I have samples of all these techniques in various quilts which I will show you in each class.
