Stepping Stones
Tamra Dumolt
$15 +BSS
Wed, Feb 29
9-12 pm
c ticket to creativity

This striking quilt is an excellent exercise in value. Correct placement of light/medium fabrics with dark fabrics creates a subtle secondary pattern throughout the quilt. Begin with a Layer Cake (or cut 10” squares from your stash) then add a background fabric and a narrow border fabric. Simple piecing brings this quilt together quickly. In class, students will make enough blocks to see the secondary pattern begin to emerge. Students are welcome to stay beyond class time and continue to make progress on their blocks during the free Sit & Sew session.
