Groovy Chandelier

Nancy will teach you to use the stack and whack method to turn the 4 strips of a border stripe into 28 unique blocks. Use the stitch and flip technique to cover each block corner with accent colors. Calculate and cut setting triangles. After the quilt center is finished and squared, use the trim strip saved from the border stripe and add as the inner border.  This class is designed for the intermediate quilter and you will need to know how to thread and use your machine, complete an accurate 1/4 in seam, use a rotary cutter and have the ability to do homework between classes.
