Get started with Nancy Smith, prolific quilter, quilt shop owner, author of more than 70 books and fabric designer. She'll dive right into a discussion of color combinations.
Here's where the magic happens! Cut your stash of fat quarters into strips, then stitch and press them to create a whole new fabric.
Using the window template included in your class materials, you'll master the "Carnival Squares" and "Up and Down" quilt designs.
"Candy Strips" - not stripes! - is another bold design to try. Set on a neutral background, the strip sets create a striking vertical design.
You'll cut, lay out, stitch and embellish the "Paint Box" design, which uses negative space to create positive results.
Swirling, colorful strip-set triangles set into hexagons form the patterns of "Kaleidoscope."
Nancy throws you a curve as she demonstrates how to cut and piece sinuous shapes in "Curved Play."
Nothing goes to waste in this class! From your strip set scraps, you'll create five cute projects that make great gifts, including placemats and napkins, a 16" pillow, waterproof snack bags and clever notebook covers.
