Do not cut fabric before class. Full day split into two sessions with at least 12 hours in between. This half-day workshop will teach you to make your own feather circles and other feather designs to compliment any block area. You won't work quite as hard as they did and you'll come up with a terrific quilt top in a fraction of the time thanks to speed cutting and piecing techniques. This is a great workshop for fabric you've already got on hand, no mater what color.
Variety is more important than quantity.
Over-achievers may begin the cutting process at home ONLY if they can cut perfect strips, not zigzags, if they bring the leftover fabric to class, and if they promise not to call me and ask how much to cut. Cut several strips from each fabric after folding selvage to selvage. Students will learn to recognize the basic grid structure into which a particular block falls, and thereby learn to construct the block in ANY size. This is a class for the beginner who needs the basics or the intermediate quilter who desires the freedom of creating patterns in any size. This is not a hands-on workshop.
