Make this gorgeous quilt that gives the effect of water rippling in a stream.  It is a perfect pattern to showcase beautiful fabric, especially large scale prints like Kaffe.  
  • You will achieve the shimmer by applying easy to understand color and value concepts that you can also use to enhance all your future quilts!  
  • This quilt looks complicated, but is actually quite easy to construct.  You will learn a quick piecing method for half-square triangles with perfect points.   
  • By the end of class, you should have a design layout for your fabrics, completed several blocks, and understand how to complete your quilt on your own.    
  • Pattern, designed by Jenny Bowker, is required.  Size options include small, sofa throw and bed.  Order at https://soquilts.square.site/shop/patterns-by-julia/4
  • Class fee includes individual feedback regarding fabric choices and layout before class via email. Students also get feedback during class.
