My first class was with Marti Mitchell
She was teaching us how to use her rulers for fast log cabin quilts
How to add movement by using different size logs
Playing with colour placement
Keeping it monochromatic
Using solid inserts with log cabin blocks
She had great techniques on layering your fabric
She suggested to always cut selvage edge rather than WOF edge
That side has less give and will result in truer cuts
Her technique allows you to cut,layer and take to the machine to sew!
I was very impressed with her knowledge
My favorite blocks were the pineapple blocks
This was a very informative and enjoyable!
Great start to the fun!!
Happy Halloween...eat some good Canadian Chocolate for me today!!
Going to have to raid Charlene's stash today!!
