Patchwork with a Twist

Description: This is a fun patchwork quilt class designed for beginner to advanced quilters alike. No precise 1/4" seam and cutting does not have to be accurate until the end when you square up the blocks. Lots of tips are included with easy piecing instructions and video support so you can learn the technique with ease. Multiple sizes are included with the opinion of a single background or alternating block background effect. Our video enhances the class with step-by-step construction of the block. You really cannot go wrong with this easy to make block. Ruth has the answer to any mistake you may think you are making, even a crookedly cut strip!
