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.
