Learning how to Quilt - Gamma Quilt
Learn the basics of quilting and piecing while making a baby-sized Gamma Quilt Top
Want to have some fun and sew and quilt in community? Join us with this class, you can quilt!
The unique combination of angles in GAMMA creates the feeling of energy radiating out from the center. The design might look complex, but it is easily broken down into four repeated blocks. The three-fabric version is strip pieced for ease and speed, and both versions have carefully planned nesting seam allowances that make it a breeze to align all the seams.
Required Supplies:
- Gamma Quilt Pattern
- Fabric for colors 1, 2, 3 *
- 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.
Please consider purchasing your fabric, pattern and supplies from Village Fabric Shop, we are happy to assist you anytime! For class supplies, you receive a 10% discount.
