This is a fantastic quilt to showcase your favorite large scale prints, like Kaffe Fassett, Alexander Henry, or African dutch wax. The 12” block is made up of large curved pieces which go together pretty quickly. The easy to use clear plastic templates (kit not included in the cost of the class) allow for fussy cutting if desired. Sondra will show students how to be precise as well as give short cuts for those who are too excited to use more than two pins!

Not into large scale or novelty prints? Use an ombre and gradate your color. Sondra is happy to help with a challenge.

About the instructor: 

Alexandra Von Burg (Sondra), has been making quilts and teaching workshops for 25 years in the Bay area. Her focus has alway been on fast and fun, which sometimes equals aerobic. She has an MFA in fine art from Pratt Institute, which has given her a foundation in design and color theory, as well as a fearlessness in creating her own method for making unique blocks and quilts.

Location:

This class is being held at the Bay Quilts located at 5327 Jacuzzi St. 3-C, Richmond, CA 94804. Bay Quilts is run by Sally Davey and her daughter, Abbey-Shane  a team of lifelong artists and crafters who have been in the quilting industry for over 30 years. They opened Bay Quilts to share their passion and knowledge with the vision of creating a community where artists, crafters, quilters, and makers of all ability can learn, grow, and create together.  This unique fabric shop is so much more than a store - from consignments quilts and gifts, and cloth figures to monthly gallery exhibitions and artist receptions to workshops.  Bay Quilts is a sanctuary for creatives of all skill level.
