Quilts On The Double

Explore the possibilities of maked two totally different quilts from one set of simple cutting and sewing!

You will begin with some easy strip piecing, then make some diagonal cuts to give you two sets of triangles. After this start, the fun begins as you arrange these triangles to make two quilts. You will see how to create different patterns by arranging the triangles in different ways, and the amazing possibilities thast can result. You will enjoy discovering alternative designs to find the ones that work best foryour set of fabrics.

There are many, many possibilities for each quilt, and the designs work especially well with striped fabrics as all kinds of Log Cabin style patterns can be made.

There there is more!

A third set of leftover triangles may be used to make a bonus small quilt.

The basis of the quilts is groups of fat quarters or fat eighths. This class can help you use up some of your stash!
