This month I am teaching a quilting class for beginners at Sew Sue's Quilt Shop in Calhoun, GA. We have eight wonderful ladies who range in their quilting abilities...from those who are just learning the basics of sewing in general, all the way to those who are accomplished quilters who want to learn new patterns and network with fellow quilters. We are using the English paper piecing technique to make blocks sometimes called "grandmothers flower garden." There are numerous ways to put these blocks together, so I am really looking forward to seeing the various finished projects these creative women will produce. One girl is planning a full size quilt while others are making table runners. I'll post pics along the way. Here are my blocks. I have a plan in mind that will incorporate some applique...can't wait to get a little further along to see if my idea will look like I want it to. Do you ever have a plan in mind and then when you do it...yuck...not what you had in mind at al!
