One Block Wonder
Two – 5 Hour Sessions $50.00
A One-Block Wonder quilt is traditionally made with
one fabric, but you can choose to use a panel and coordinating fabric or even 7
panels to make your quilt. One-Block Wonder is not a pattern. It is a process. Start with a fabric that has
a pattern which can be measured in repeats, usually no smaller than 12”. Cut
six individual repeats into strips. Cut 60-degree triangles from the
strips. Then those stacks of six
triangles, which are identical, are sewn into half hexagons and pinned together
to create kaleidoscope blocks. These blocks
are then arranged on a design wall or around a panel. Other design elements can be added if wanted.
This is a simplified description of the process. Sign up for this class to begin the
adventure.
