The Rivers n Stars Quilt combines traditional blocks to create a cute, modern, pattern! Now is your chance to add two skills to your quilting bag of tricks while making this fun quilt top.  You will learn how to sew curves with the single/double drunkard path blocks and to make the simple triangle in a square block using the no tear paper piecing method. This quilt gives you options! You choose whether you want to use 2, 3 or more fabrics - the two top corners are examples of two fabrics, the bottom two corners are 3 fabrics and the middle is scrappy (I'm not going to count all those fabrics). You also get to choose how you assemble your blocks to can create a variety of patterns.

About the instructor:

You may know Nancy Williams as A Quilting Fool or Detective Inspector of our Mystery Quilt classes. Nancy Williams has been sewing for longer than she cares to say - clothing for the kids and grands; a few wedding dresses; some tailoring.  She began piecing quilts about 30 years ago and mostly quilting them on her domestic machine.  After renting time on long arm quilting machines and liking it (a lot), she decided to purchase her own. Since then, she has been honing her art and skills on personal quilts, donation quilts and quilts of those she is honored to be trusted with.
