Many of my quilts contain appliqué flowers. They’re just so much fun to make!
During the In Full Bloom class, we will focus on one block of this lovely quilt and learn all about preparing your fabric, transferring the templates, motif placement, invisible stitches, smooth circles and sharp points.
Participants can choose to either make the quilt as given in the pattern, use the block in a mini quilt, frame it,… There are so many possibilities!
The original In Full Bloom quilt is made with the fabrics from our Pieces of Time collection (delivery to shops: May 2022). This class can be offered to quilters along with an accompanying fabric kit to make this quilt.
