Description
The Craftsy Block of the Month is back and better than ever in 2013! Sew along with quilting legend Laura Nownes as she teaches you how to make 10 blocks of various sizes, including LeMoyne Star, Tumbling Blocks, Strippy Spools and Offset Log Cabins. You’ll learn techniques such as 45-degree and 60-degree triangles, partial seams, Y-seam construction and curved piecing. In the fall, you’ll learn two fun filler blocks, then assemble the quilt and finish with Laura’s easy mitered binding. Select the specially priced Craftsy fabric kit, featuring Robert Kaufman’s colorful Spot On, Metro Living and Remix fabrics, or choose favorite fabrics from your stash. It’s a great class for experienced quilters, but jump right in if you have basic sewing skills!
