Master the technique of the traditional folded square and take this foundation in a new direction by changing from a square to a long
rectangle. The changes are astonishing and the possibilities are endless. You will create templates, windows and rolled bias curves and have basic instructions for the quilt and border options. You can leave with a pillow or a wall hanging completed.

Description: We will be assembling scrap quilt blocks using various cutting and sewing techniques. This is a quick and easy method for producing simple blocks in that old-fashioned scrap quilt look; you may use your fabric stash or buy new coordinating fabric for an artistic style. You will need a machine that does different decorative stitches. This will be your chance to experiment with embellishments and different thread colors to enhance each piece of your scrap quilt block. This is a beginning to intermediate class; sewing experience will be very helpful. You will need to know how to use the different stitches on your own machine. If you borrow a machine, “Machine Basics” is a pre-requisite.
