Pieced Borders with Charlene
During this five part monthly class, students will learn the basics (and more!) of creating a medallion quilt and adding a new pieced border during each class session. Students will also learn how to do the math to add custom borders for any quilt.
Students will need to choose one of the 12.5" square center blocks (located on page 62 of the textbook) and bring the required fabrics for that block and for the Squares-in-a-Row Border (located on page 70) to the class. During our first class session we will create our centers and will go through the book to determine which borders we will be making for the rest of the class sessions.
This is a five part class with the possibility of homework in between sessions.
Students must purchase "Borders The Basics and Beyond" book available at DesignZ By Doodle Quilt shop.
Students must bring their own notions and sewing machine (and know the basics of how to use it). A handout of class materials required is available in the classroom.
Don't forget to bring a lunch and a drink with a screw-on cap.
