Roses Quilt

What could be more fun in February than creating your own bouquet of roses?

Turn a traditional “Snail’s Trail” into a blossom using your favorite prints. Fun and fast. Techniques include 4 patch construction, sew and flip corners, 9 patch construction, proper pressing and trimming to maintain a beautiful square block. Additional settings and finishing will be discussed in class. Homework will be cutting out for just one rose, but there will be a demo with the Stripology Ruler to expedite the rest of your cutting.
