One Block Wonder Encore Class Begins



TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN!


Northeast Quilting Friends Quilt Guild is starting our new "season" off with a bang. We are learning the technique of making hexagons from the One Block Wonder Encore book. Most of the group chose to participate in this class. We took four hours and one quick lunch break to learn how to align the fabric, cut the triangles and sew the half hexagons. The interesting thing to me was how 2 sets of ladies chose the same fabric for the class. Oh well, with this design there is no possibility of them being similar, unless they began with the same alignment points-which they did not.

This picture is the "before". There's no stress in quilting, but, sometimes there is intense focus.

These are another set of ladies that bought the same material to work on. Amazing, or maybe not, we travel to quilt shops all the time and I guess it would be possible to pick it up on the road, especially if it was part of a great sale.

Mary has an extremely large repeat, 24 inches. It will be interesting to see how hers turns out and really they all are so interesting, it's just that no one has a repeat that large.
