Celtic Rows Class Description:
Celtic Rows : 2 day class
Class Description
This new quilt is a fun and surprisingly easy way to turn ‘quilting’ patterns into ‘celtic’ patterns.
Using my quick and foolproof way of making and applying bias strips it is an achievable project for quilters at any level.
The strips are made “Quilt-as-you-go” with an infinite variety of patterns supplied to make each finished quilt unique and any size.
Learning Outcomes
1. Learn how to use quilting patterns as celtic patters.
2. Make bias strips from any fabric (with no special tools) and apply using machine blind hem stitch.
3. Learn easy background quilting ideas.
4. Join the finished strips neatly to make a whole quilt.
