Bring nature inside with this outdoor inspired quilt! Learn a technique to create curvy shapes and dynamic movement as you stitch this dramatic quilt in class. Almost all the cutting will already be done before you sit down to sew…. so you’ll make huge strides at the machine and on your design with this 38 x 28-inch wall hanging. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.

    Cut as follows:

    • Choose (3) of the 3-inch wide strips - from each of these cut (1) 3 x 7.5-inch section (these are the fillers). Cut the rest of each strip into (11) 3-inch squares. You will have a total of 33 squares.
    • From each of the other 3-inch strips cut (9) 3-inch squares for a total of 27 squares. All together you should have (60) 3-inch squares (these are the corners).

    Fold each 3-inch square diagonally with wrong sides together and press to form a nice triangle. There should be 60 of these.
