Sharon Colley
Workshop - One Block Wonder Tablerunner
We will talk about the math behind quilting. We will discuss the 60-degree ruler, samples will be shown, and we will discuss fabric selection for One Block Wonder quilts or the One Block Wonder panel quilts. She will also show us a tool to aid in making fabric selections. Sharon will also bring several quilts which illustrate the 60-degree technique on several identical panels and other fabrics. She has achieved very striking and “one of a kind” quilts using this technique. If there is interest in making a one block wonder quilt with printed panels, we can talk about scheduling another workshop later this year.
