Wednesdays
Sept. 24, Oct. 15, 22 & 29 5:30 – 8:00 $50.00 This quilt is a “twist” on the traditional log cabin block. If you have watched the television show “Simply
Quilts”, you will have seen this quilt in the very beginning of each episode. It looks like a pinwheel design but is
paper pieced like a traditional log cabin with the sides of the block at an angle to the center triangle. It’s easy
paper piecing but gives a very dramatic look to the quilt. It’s not hard and you will get a beautiful quilt in the end. Instructor:
