Magical Jelly Roll Quilts - February 2013
by Cynmar58 on February 19, 2013
Wonderful ideas in this class, and I love the rulers...had to get the Jelly Roll and Flying Geese ones! After making flying geese the traditional way as part of a large quilt, I appreciate the cutting and saving fabric using the ruler. Thank you for your great teaching methods and taking care to explain and demonstrate fully before moving forward.
Really great class
