This class is perfect for those who are interested in exploring landscape quilts but are not ready to tackle a large, complex project. These scenic quilts are small, simplified, and fused, resulting in instant gratification, and make them a perfect project to give as a gift. The small format also allows you to be adventurous and recreate them in various colors and textures. The mini quilts go together quickly and will be finished with borders to make a small wall hanging measuring approximately 10”x 12” (smaller pattern) or 14” x 20 (larger pattern). The class focuses on working with fabrics to create stunning pictorial quilts. There are nine different patterns to choose from, each including both sizes. The class fee includes a pattern of choice, and students can purchase additional patterns if desired. A few of the scenes are available as kits.
