This quilt is very simple although it looks very complicated. It is constructed of alternating nine patches and plain squares. This creates a look of the fabrics changing without actually being able to see the seams, or blocks, which creates the change. Fabric selection is the most important part of this quilt!
During this first class, you will come in and spend some time with your teacher, Darleen Arisco, discussing what type of fabrics and colors you need to complete the "Blooming 9-Patch" quilt top. (This will give those of you who wash their fabrics prior to sewing a chance to do that.)
NOTE: If you already have your fabrics for this class, please come in and let the teacher review your choices.
