TASTER: Flo`s Wild Flowers from Lewis & Irene
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Oct-2017
Valerie shows you how to make both the blocks of this lovely quilt designed for Lewis & Irene by Sally Ablett.
You will learn how to cut and sew the half-square triangles and the quarter-square triangles. And why they are different and why they matter! Don’t worry that there are 3/8th’s mentioned – it’s all on your ruler. The blocks are a standard 12″ finish.
The fabric is available in three colourways in your quilt shop – so download the instructions and pop along to buy your favourite.
If you aren’t a fully paid subscriber to Justhands-on.tv the workshop notes are still available – click here – but you won’t have the helpful hints and tips that Valerie shares.
