| Sally Collins Circles and Squares This Mandala style of quilt is designed symmetrically, incorporating concentric circles and squares and radiates from the center out. Using mirrors for both design and color composition, students are encouraged to compose their own quilt. A pattern and instructions for the class project, with additional borders, will also be provided. Students will construct their quilt using precision sewing techniques, rotary cutting and templates to achieve quality workmanship. Border options will also be discussed. www.sallycollins.org Level: Intermediate to Advanced Supply List |

| Anita Grossman Solomon A Scrappy Pineapple, Working Your Fabrics This classic Pineapple Quilt, conventionally sewn, not foundation pieced, is set in an on-point layout in which a pattern of light-colored circles form. 64 trapezoids and triangles are efficiently cut in only 14 rotary strokes without measuring or wasting any fabric. By slicing blocks in unexpected ways, all of the setting pieces are created in a fraction of time. Because the construction is elementary, the blocks will serve as the vehicle for design, enabling you to develop an eye for the machinations of fabric patterns. www.makeitsimpler.com Level: All Supply List |
