Time:

Friday, April 19th, 10am-5pm

Learning objectives:

In this techniques class we will be exploring the Twice-cut Drunkard’s Path technique. We’ll be using the Complete 14” Drunkard’s Path set in combination with the Complete and Oval set to create blocks with transparency and multiple curves in different directions (this way and that).

I will show you how to pick colours that enhance the transparency between the different curves. With the help of the two template sets, we cut and sew the arches, cut again and assemble into this exciting 14” block. The block looks great multiplied by four to create a 28” block for a cushion, mini quilt or bag panel or as the 56” or 84” quilt sizes included in your pattern.

The paper version of the templates used in class is included but, if you decide only the Acrylic templates will suffice, you’ll receive a 10% class discount* code upon booking the class. The Acrylic templates are highly recommended for ease and accuracy, especially if you are a stickler for precision.

The quilts in the gallery are by Maria @masch1956 and Alison @stitch.rest.repeat

Included:

PDF Paper templates for you to print

PDF This Way and That pattern (including the block pattern plus two quilt sizes)
