Let’s Quilt Day held October 23rd, was a fun interactive workshop led by our own Betty Huygen. She did a demo of how to cut and assemble a “Quarter Stripes” set of blocks using 1 ¼ yards of a favorite striped fabric.
Meribeth Dunkerley set up tables with cutting stations so members could practice the folding and cutting technique thereby ensuring we actually learned how to do this! The resulting cutting and assembly created squares that are very different from the original fabrics. So many varieties of stripes brought in by members, resulted in many outstanding looks! No doubt finished table runners and table toppers are likely to be seen at upcoming Show and Share sessions.
For more information on the technique, please go to the Missouri Star Quilt company’s Youtube channel and search “Quarter Stripes Quilt”.
