Class Description:
Amazingly simple technique results in simply amazing quilts! Take a look at log cabin designs from a whole new angle as designed by Sara Nephew in collaboration with Marci Baker. Choose specific fabrics or cut up your scraps and paint with strips. It is such a simple concept that you will want to make more than one! In class, you will learn how to make the basic units, triangles and diamonds. From there you can make every project in the book and even design your own simply amazing quilt.
