Class: Big Block workshop
Tutor: Mel Forrest
Times: 10.00am to 4.00pm
Level: Intermediate
Have you made several small quilts, and are ready to tackle something bigger? Are you keen to make a large quilt, but are intimidated by making so many blocks? Then this is the project for you! By sewing just 9 24" blocks, you can create an impressive 80" quilt in no time! Each session, I will teach you to make one of the 3 block designs, and by the end of the course you will be ready to assemble your big blocks. Choose festive fabrics to make an heirloom Christmas quilt as I have done, or pick your favourite fat quarters from your stash - anything goes!
Materials required:
25 Fat Quarters - these need to be a mix of around 16 patterned/coloured fabrics and 9 low volume/background fabrics to provide contrast
NB: Please don't panic about buying all of your fabrics for the first class! You can start with a few and then add more as you go along.
1m of fabric for your sashing
Matching/neutral thread for piecing
