Join Judy Niemeyer certified instructor Cindy Myers for a one-day Saturday workshop to learn this fairly easy paper pieced 64″ x 64″ quilt with a modern flair. Cindy will be available at 2pm the day before class (Friday) to help you pick your fabrics and Scruffy is offering 10% off all class supplies. Lunch is included during Saturday’s class.
Prairie Pinwheels was designed as an introduction to a new series of patterns designed around windmills. Perhaps the most “efficient” design when it comes to fabric usage, this quilt requires less than 15 yards of fabric, INCLUDING the backing! This efficiency is due to the use of extremely well thought out cutting templates for the circular pinwheel, and no cutting at all for the spiked pinwheels. The spiked pinwheels are done using 2-1/2″ strips, which are strip pieced, then cut after the sewing is completed, to the perfect size. All other pieces are background triangles and rectangles, that are cut to exact size!
