We will be guiding you every other month on piecing a row of this quilt. There is no charge for this lecture class and the patterns for the rows will be distributed at each class meeting. You have to attend our Saturday Session to receive the patterns. This is a great scrap quilt and would also look stunning in patriotic fabrics.

Cadence Court Block of the Month designed by Sassafras Lane Designs featuring "Foundation" by Shayla Wolf for Windham Fabrics.

Cadence Court is a fresh take on a popular Block-of-the-Month style quilt! This program features 12 unique wedge designs, each repeated twice, that make up a modern circular design. Included in the pattern book are full-size foundation patterns and templates, full color diagrams, complete paper-piecing instructions, a coloring sheet, swatch sheet, 8 different quilt color ways to give you endless ideas and more!

Time to try a new technique! This 12 month block of the month will be a paper pieced project. Don’t be scared! It’s easy. To help beginners through this project or simply provide a refresher on paper piecing we will be offering a sewing session each month dedicated to working on this project. The quilt is constructed in a series of wedges and then wedges are put together, forming quarter circles which are finally sewn together. Simple!

This BOM will begin in June 2018 and run for 12 months at a cost of $15 per month. Kits will include Cadence Court Pattern Book, and all fabrics needed to complete the top and binding. The finished quilt is approximately 60" x 60" quilt.

****************

All of our Special Programs or Monthly Programs require a commitment from you for the length of the program. Signing up for a Block of the Month is the same as putting a quilt on "lay-away". You are making a commitment to purchase the entire set of patterns or kits. There are NO exceptions to this rule, so please don't ask if you can discontinue a program once you've joined in.

Please note that in general our BOM programs provide for the fabrics to complete the quilt top only. If backing is included in the program it will be expressly stated as so.
