Stack – N – Whack

Tuesdays August 3, 10, 24 & 31

5:30 – 8:00

$45.00

If you would like to try something different than a traditional quilt block, this is the class for you.  Hexagons cut from the same fabric will end up as varied as a kaleidoscope.  Students will be making a small wall hanging similar to the one found on page 72 of Magic Stack ‘n Whack Quilts by Bethany S. Reynolds, only using 8 hexagons instead of the 18 shown.  By making the small size, the technique can easily be learned and the project will less likely become another UFO.
