Use some of the decorative stitches on your machine and quilt as you go. Inspired by Cotton Theory quilting, where you'll find quilted embroidery, three-dimensional finished seams and a whole new way to quilt. Every quilt is reversible. Unlike traditional quilts, which are pieced together, layered with batting and then quilted, quilt as you go projects are quilted first, one segment at a time, and then assembled into finished quilts. This is a two day class.

Each month for 10 months you will have scheduled time to work on this fun wall hanging. Fusible Raw Edge Applique is the technique used. We will be starting with Block Two in March and progressing through the rest of the blocks. Block One will be done last so you have time to work on it throughout the 10 month period. If you take advantage of your scheduled sewing time and a little homework, you could easily have your project completed by January. If you didn't get started in January, you can still join in the fun. There is plenty of time to catch up between classes.
