Mix and Match Feather Blocks (Q Series)

Description

Learn how to use Rachelle’s new Mix and Match Feather Block Designs. Nine block designs with eighty one block variations. See how these can be used for not only blocks but whole-cloths, borders and backgrounds.

We will discuss options for drawing and stitching the blocks using the stencils, a lightbox or stitching through paper to transfer the designs onto your quilts. Background fills will also be discussed to enhance the feather designs. You will stitch a few of the blocks in class and understand how versatile they can be. Some free motion experience is required for this class.
