A technique workshop where you will learn everything you need to know to make the Robins Nest Quilt or use what you learn to make a smaller quilt or cushion.
This traditional English frame quilt features many different techniques including hexagons, eight pointed stars, six pointed stars, fussy cutting and colour placement. This class covers hand piecing, machine piecing, appliqué and English Paper Piecing. Learn the many different techniques to make a project of your own or combine your new knowledge to complete this lovely quilt.
