TECHNIQUES USED: rotary strip cutting, strip piecing, sew and fold corners, and templates piecing or use the Tri-Recs ruler set for thestar point triangle construction. I recommend using the Tri-Recs ruler set for piecing the long ray star units.

Pre-wash fabrics to control color stability and stabilize grain lines. I like to press my fabrics with a light misting of sizing to help restore the "like-new" finish and hand to my fabrics.

Cut all fabrics before coming to class, BUT don't do the templated cuts with Patch 4 and Patch 5. We will cover that in class. Do draw the diaonal lines as indicated in the class instruction sheet.

TWISTING RIBBONS ... November 9th 11:00-4:00

Relax on a Sunday afteroon with easy piecing and stunning results! You'll be surprised at how easily the effect of twisting ribbons can be achieved across the top of the quilt as Kay shows you how to piece the block using only two techniques: strip piecing and sew-n-fold corners. Choose two fabrics for the ribbons - a light and a dark; choose a medium or contrast/coordinating fabric for the chain, and choose a background fabric.
