This class is for beginners and advanced quilters alike. The class is packed full of border and sashing designs and techniques that will individualize your quilting to really help it be the center of attention. You will also learn about the many different types of backfill that can be used in your quilts as well as when to use them.

If you have taken the other classes, and/or are an intermediate quilter, then we highly recommend taking this class. Judy is going to help you take feathers from basic, to an even more extraordinary, advanced look, while providing you with the knowledge you need to incorporate them into the overall design of your quilts, or just to use in a large border. She will teach you how to make your feathers weave over one another and how to sub-divide large areas to creating even more interest.
