| It's always so much fun to discover a block that is fast and easy to piece that inspires you to make them again and again. That's what you'll find with this class! While anyone can duplicate someone else's design, you'll learn to re-work these blocks making them 100% your own, suiting your own creative taste. You'll be happy to see how one simple block method will allow you to design table runners/toppers/patchwork for clothing, hand bags and more! This class has it all, mastery, mystery, ease, playfulness and endless options.
