An exercise in optical illusions made easy, this quilt is reminiscent of the 1930s, but with a modern flair. Learn to accurately cut and construct complex shapes and place them strategically, allowing the fabric to visually construct itself into flower-like shapes. Make enough sections in class to master the technique and be able to finish your project at home, in whatever size you wish. Class time is packed with great quiltmaking information, and the kit includes Nelly’s special ruler and other necessary tools. Bring your own fabric, see supply list for details.
