Exploding Heart - Mini Retreat!



This pattern makes a large 72” x 72” throw quilt in a striking and modern heart design. This quilt is fat quarter friendly.

Our mini-retreat will take place over 2 days to allow for cutting and block piecing. You will need a larger area than our classroom to layout your blocks in the heart design so this will not be done in class.

Do not cut your fabric before class!

Our class is limited to 5 people but will be offered twice. So please just sign up one time!

 

Day 1 – start @ 1pm and finish @ 8 pm. This day would be a cutting day as there is a lot of cutting for this quilt. Please bring your sewing machine with you so we can set up it up at the end of the day and you will be ready to go on Day 2.

Pizza dinner will be served.

 

Day 2 – start @ 9am and finish @ 4pm. This is a sewing day. There are 6 different blocks in this quilt. It takes time to sew. The goal is to get the all blocks made today.

Coffee/juice/donuts will be there in the morning and a box lunch will be served for lunch.
