Summer Scrappy Sampler
Summer Scrappy Sampler
Using a sampler book by Eleanor Burns, Quilt in a Day; Underground Railroad*, we will explore 12 different sampler blocks in this 4 month workshop. Students will make 3 blocks per month utilizing a variety of techniques. A scrappy sampler is sure to be the class favorite!
During the 1st class time, students will discuss fabric choices and techniques to be learned.
*Disclaimer: This class is in no way to be construed as a class about the Underground Railroad quilts. I am simply using this book as my reference. Thank you, Jessica.
