WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Allow yourself the freedom of no templates to create a contemporary
quilt in this fun and easy workshop designed for free rotary cutting
curves. Students will be shown how to cut and sew curves so that their
work will lie flat. Ideas will be shown with additional quilts how to
expand the design to make the quilt larger.
Choose your individual border design using vliesofix to complement the
body of your work.
Once students have mastered the art of freehand curves they will have
the ability to create individual abstract quilts.
