Woven Snowballs Quilt

Class Description

When you add triangles to the sides of a square block, the block is called a snowball. When you combine these snowballed blocks with a bordered square block, you can create a great a woven design. Learn to make this quilt in the Woven Snowballs Class. In this class, you will learn how to: • Use a rotary cutter and ruler to cut fabric accurately from yardage • Create a snowball block • Sew partial seams • Set a quilt design "on point" • Create and use setting triangles • Use color to show a contrast between fabrics • Add a solid border to the quilt top Class Scheduling and Format: Classes are offered in an open-workshop setting, where students may be working on different projects.
