Layer Cake Fun! – Learn an easy technique for making multiple blocks with different shapes.

This is a creative technique that is great for beginners but still offers a beautiful result for the more advanced quilter.

Bring your sewing machine, small cutting mat & rotary cutter, and ruler.  (If you happen to have a 10” or 10.5” square ruler that would be handy too!)

You will need a layer cake and a matching number of 10” squares of a single contrasting color (example: solid black, white or a blender).

Round Robin

Explanation and Rules

This is a fun collaboration!  FUN.  We start with a center block and add borders.  The borders can be pieced, appliqued, paper pieced, embroidered or embellished.  You can include a note with your block with requests, if you like, but group members do not have to follow your requests.  Each border will be due each month at the quilt guild meeting. The only exception will be the last border because of the size.   It will be two months. If you cannot make the meeting, arrangements must be made to get the quilt to pass to the next person.  You will know who you have to hand it off to.

Sign-ups will begin in February at the Guild meeting.  If you cannot make the meeting, you can email Terry Duncan at Terryduncan53@gmail if you want to be included.  If you are interested in doing it, plan on having your center block done by the March meeting.

The center blocks will be handed out in March and off we go!

Center Block:   • Make a block 12 ½” – 18 1/2“unfinished

This can be a pieced block, applique, panel block as long as it meets the 12-18” requirements.  DO NOT Make your block a prime number!   No 13- or 17-inch blocks!  It makes it difficult to make borders.

Groups will be approximately 5 -7 people depending on how many sign up.  This will come out to a center square and a border for each person. (4-6 borders).  This will depend on the number of participants.    After the last border is added, you receive it back and you can do what you want with it.  We will have an unveiling at the meeting and after that you Keep it, gift it, donate it!  Completely up to you.

If you have questions, please contact Terry.  This is a new endeavor, and it can evolve.  Any points of clarification are very welcome!

New Year. New Challenge!  Let’s do it!

Workshop description – Making A Quilty Vest (2 ½ -3 hours)

If you can make a whole quilt, you can make this easy quilted vest. The guild program introduced design ideas, and this workshop will help attendees execute their vision. As a bonus, the quilted unisex pattern we’ll use for class will be available to try on for sizing accuracy in advance of the workshop.

This workshop will:

• Review the steps to sew a quilted vest
• Recommend seam and edge finishes for the vest
• Begin the vest in class and take away understandable next steps

Attendees will create or obtain the fabric for the vest & binding. This can include pieces of your own design, vintage quilts, commercially quilted fabric, etc. As this vest can be reversible, consider both the right side and the inside fabrics.

Homework for the workshop:

1. Try on the designated unisex pattern and choose your size (sizes XS to XL are available); these will be at the guild meetings leading up to the workshop.
2. Based on size selected, create or source ‘quilted pieces’ for the vest
3. Find/create bias binding for the edges and armholes
