Hopscotch with Anne Baxter (workshop notes)

Description

Anne shows us a couple of quilts she has made with this lovely design; one has a real country feel and the other uses shirting fabrics for which she spent some considerable time cutting the pieces separately, and then added sashing;  so a couple of really great alternatives.

Anne guides you through the cutting – which is done through a pile of 6 fabrics using the rotary cutter to its best advantage; and then takes you on to the sewing; the pieces are very simple, so the sewing is simple too and try not to overthink the colour selection  – just pick up a piece and sew!

Anne also has a great tip about drawing out the diagram with a chaco liner so that you know you are going to get all the pieces out! – just on the top fabric of the pile though.

It is assumed that you work with 1/4″ seam and Anne shows you how to chain piece these.

If you want a smaller quilt – you could make fewer blocks ; and bear in mind that Anne uses some of the pieces to create that lovely patchworky border.

If you particularly like Anne’s use of a flat fillet – we have a short workshop that tells you more about that – just click here to enjoy.
