make it do the math. We will start simple with a medallion quilt and add borders. Next we’ll design a row quilt with
different row widths. Then we’ll move into Custom Set and how easy it is in EQ6 to draw your own layout and turn it
into a Custom Set quilt. By the end of this class you will have a stockpile of ideas and tricks for creating your next masterpiece.

FABULOUS 4-BLOCK
MEDALLIONS
All
Levels
Twist and turn 4 identical pieced blocks together to create a perfect central area for appliqué-on paper,
that is! We’ll draw block designs on graph paper, grinning with glee as our brains catch on fire with quilt ideas.
By using “pieced” blocks, the appearance of medallion borders can be created without the necessity of actually
attaching multiple borders. Further design options practically suggest themselves, plus provide possibilities for background
interest and playing with color. Class includes a demo on needle turn appliqué and how to work with bias vines.
Instructor will provide samples of types of graph paper, two handouts and a mechanical pencil with eraser at no charge.
