Laura's Craftsy Classes

Craftsy Block of the Month 2013 with Laura Nownes

Every month, Laura uses an original block design to teach you one quilting technique, including partial seams, Y-seams, drafting, and both 60- and 45-degree triangles. You'll create 10 blocks in different sizes, then assemble them into a 60" x 63" throw quilt. It's a great class for experienced quilters, but jump right in if you have basic sewing skills!
