Who’s Afraid of ‘Y’ Seams?
Blocks
and Borders and Sashing Oh My! Before the age of rotary cutters,
quilters designed some of the most beautiful blocks around and a lot of
them contained ‘Y’ seams. With the development of rotary cutting
methods and the desire to make all thing simple, ‘Y’ seams went the way
of the dinosaur. This class will help take the fear out of
constructing blocks that our fore-quilters had no problems with.
Blocks like the Baton Rouge block and other ‘Y’ seamed blocks will
start appearing in our quilts again after you learn how easy ‘Y’ seams
really are.
Whacky & Stacky With a Twist
This
class takes the student through the ‘Stack-n-Whack’ technique designed
by Bethany Reynolds, only with the addition of a secondary focus fabric
placed to change the look of the basic pinwheel block to create an
original design
Slice and Slash Curves
This
class shows the student an alternative method to curved piecing without
sewing curved seams. Ten 18-inch squares of fabric are used to create
the nine block, curved pieced top, complete with sashing and border.
Stack Four
This
class takes the Stack and Whack method developed by Bethany Reynolds
and by using four repeats of a design and paper piecing, creates an
original design with secondary patterns.
