Southwest Medallion

J. Michelle Watts

   1 Day

    $65

84" x 88" Quilt

61" x 61" Quilt

A unique oval medallion is in the center of this beautiful southwestern quilt. This design is inspired by a woven basket design. The center medallion will be taught in a full day class, then the background completed after class. The 9 degree wedge ruler is needed for this class.

Limited to 15 students.  

Skill Level:  Intermediate to advanced skill levels.

This unique circular design was inspired by a Native American woven basket.

Students will focus on piecing of the center circular medallion during class. Students will learn techniques for mastering the use of the 9° wedge ruler. The pieced circle design is created with simple straight seams. Other project ideas will also be discussed. Cutting, piecing, pressing, quilting will be discussed.

I suggest that students do some pre-class cutting, so we can make the most of sewing time during class. No matter which one you choose to do, the pre-class cutting is the same.
