CLAVA by Miss Make is a celestial-inspired quilt reminiscent of moon phases, with a repeated sequence of differently sized crescent shapes creating lots of striking movement. Clava is named after the Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age site outside Inverness in Scotland built with very precise astronomical positioning.
Required Supplies:
- Clava Quilt Pattern
- Fabric for colors 1, 2, 3, 4, & background fabric*
- Neutral Cotton Thread for piecing
- A working sewing machine
*You'll have time in class to make the baby quilt layout, but you will gain the skills to continue to working on your quilt top at home if you want to go larger. The focus of this class is making the quilt top, however an overview of the next steps needed to complete your quilt will also be demonstrated.
You'll need to purchase the pattern and fabrics in advance of the class and have your fabrics ready to begin the project, we recommend washing and ironing your fabric before class.
