Ribbon Dance

£60.00

1 Day Workshop

Sat, 2nd June, 2018

10:00am - 4:00pm

Ribbon Dance is a large quilt using an eclectic range of fabrics on a plain spot background.

The centre design and the ribbon borders are hand appliquéd and there are tiny paper hexagons between them.

There is quite a bit of technique covered in this class.

The main part of the quilt is hand pieced hexagons and diamonds stitched in rows surrounding the centre medallion.

This quilt looks gorgeous in any colour palette,  Mine is handmade but the hexagons can be machine pieced if desired.

It is hand quilted and there are acrylic templates available which are £15 and payable to Judy on the day (we may have some earlier if you need them before).
