Description Bring a beautiful quilt to life with celebrated designer Lynette Jensen! You’ll sew the Craftsy-exclusive Garden Charm quilt as you explore fun lessons and fresh techniques in the 2016 Block of the Month class. Enjoy start-to-finish guidance as you create this gorgeous 84″ x 92″ design, starting with must-have tips for fabric selection, cutting, and piecing. Lynette will show you how to sew a lovely hourglass center for your quilt before you soar into a fun, efficient method for creating flying geese units. Learn how to build out your quilt with a striking dogtooth border and Ohio Star blocks before adding eye-catching modified pinwheels to your design repertoire. Next, follow along with Lynette to create pristine floral appliqués and sew a high-flying adaption of traditional piano keys. And, discover Lynette’s recommendations for backing, batting and quilting. Finish class with a quilt you’ll always treasure, and skills that will enhance all your future projects! Note: While the kit is no longer available, you can still stitch along with Lynette using your own fabrics and the included pattern.
