Sunflowers at Dawn
Description: This three lesson online class will teach you all you need to know to make this beautiful floral project. Learn how to select the right fabrics, place them accordingly, piece and applique them correctly and then quilt your project using echo quilting. In the first lesson, you select your fabrics and piece the background together including borders to create a window frame effect. In lesson two, you learn how to make bias binding stems for your sunflowers, discover fusible webbing and how to use it correctly, cut and adhere sunflower appliques with ease and learn the art of blanket stitch applique. To finish up, in lesson three you add some shading effects to your stems, discover free-motion techniques and echo quilting, then add hanging tabs and label to complete the project. This is a fun class and one of our most popular pattern sellers.
