Have you ever wanted to learn to create traditional quilts with scraps? Do you have an abundance of scraps, strings, small pieces of fabrics that you cannot bear to toss? This is the class for you. This class is a technique-based way to explore piecing using foundations to make traditional quilts and beyond. We will cover types of foundations, string quilts, watercolor quilts, crazy quilts, quilt as you go and foundation paper piecing. Foundations include paper, interfacing, stabilizer, quilting fabrics, batting, canvas, dryer sheets, paper towels, and a variety of other household items to add stability to the project. Incorporate those beautiful scraps and small pieces of fabrics leftover from other projects to create quick and easy quilts that are sure to be family favorites. After learning these basic techniques, you will be able to parlay foundation pieing into your future projects and hopefully, this sparks your creativity to create masterpieces of your own. This tutorial includes a bonus potholder project for quick gift giving.
