Shattered Rainbows with Carol

 

 

This is a quilt that is designed to use up your stash of all those scraps and ‘odd’ fabrics.
Students will learn how to make two basic blocks, using a simple and speedy method.
The technique of how to ‘twirl’ and flatten seams where eight seams meet in a pinwheel block will be taught.
Thereafter it is just a matter of sewing them together into whatever random design develops.
This is an ideal getaway class where you can sit and sew and chat with old and new friends.
As is usual in Carol’s classes there will be plenty of hints and tips to learn along the way.
