MSQB-5: Monthly Sampler Quilt Block Series - August
Each month practice a different technique for making and quilting a block. Each quilted block will finish 12” square. Great opportunity for both beginner and non-beginner quilters to learn different quilt piecing techniques and have some fun and camaraderie doing it. This is not a project class but bonus instructions will be provided for how to join blocks together to make larger projects. For example, a quilted block can be made into a placemat or a tote bag; or several blocks can be put together to make a table runner, or a small quilt. Blocks can be duplicated and made into a larger quilt. Lots of possibilities.
This month is the Crazy Patch. The Crazy Patch quilt block is made with a sew-and-flip method, then decorative stitching or embellishments are sewn over the seams. The fun part about crazy quilt blocks is that they are made from odd-ball shapes and sizes, and that nothing is really the same.
