ELECTRIC QUILT 6 DRAWING
Want to create your own block designs? In this Electric Quilt 6 software class we’ll learn to draw both pieced and appliqué designs. For the pieced portion, we will start simple and edit existing blocks like the Ohio Star or Four Patch. Then we will move into drawing Lone Stars and New York Beauties. For the appliqué portion, we will start with drawing a simple flower, then learn how to turn it into an elaborate wreath with threadwork around it. The drawing tools covered will unlock a whole new world of design possibilities for you.

NICK’S QUILT
All Levels
This large throw quilt (64” x 80”) has two different 16” blocks that are fun to sew.  It would make a great graduation quilt, as the block centers can be personalized with signatures or photos.  The quilt goes together so quickly, you won’t be able to make just one!
