Description
Skill Level: Intermediate
Learn a timeless quilting design in this 3-week class. Cathedral Window blocks are inspired by the beauty of stained-glass windows and are a fabulous way to highlight special fabrics or a collection you've been holding on to that you're saving for the right project. Please note, there will be homework assigned in between classes to ensure that students complete the project during class hours.
During class, students will apply their newfound quilting knowledge and make an 20" pillow. Students will practice their rotary cutting and curved piecing skills. This class is suitable for intermediate level students with prior quilting experience. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
