Virtual Workshop Description
This 34-inch by 42.5-inch quilt top was made with only 33 seams total. Total fabric requirements: sixteen strips of fabrics all cut from selvage to selvage at width 4 inches. Half of the fabrics should be of approximately one colour and half in some contrasting colour. In a four-hour class you can complete half of this quilt. Tube piecing temporarily works with three-dimensional tubes (of comfortable size) to allow for very streamlined, fast, and accurate piecing of repeating two-dimensional patterns of various degrees of intricacy. The basic patterns are all-over parallelograms, rows of triangles, and blocks of parallelograms. More advanced projects build on top of these. Take this class to see the method in action.
