The Luminary quilt is a modern take on a traditional Lone Star quilt using an improv twist. The colour movement from the centre to the tip is achieved by varying both the hue and value of the fabrics used. The first class will be spent focusing on fabric choice and layout. During the second class we will prepare the diamonds and the third class will focus on assembling the quilt.

This class is the second in our learn to quilt classes. Ideally you will have completed our Quilting 1 for the Absolute Beginner Class before enrolling in Quilting 2. The expectation is that you can cut multiple layers of fabric using a rotary cutter, follow a basic pattern and are familiar with sewing a consistent and accurate 1/4" seam prior to the class. Please speak to Carrie or Amy if you are unsure if this is the right class for you. This class will lead you through the process of making a sampler quilt that can be as funky or traditional as you like. You'll make a variety of traditional pieced blocks that assemble into a twin size quilt top. There will be weekly homework assigned to be completed between classes so please factor that into the time commitment for this course.

This pattern allows you to go beyond square and rectangular blocks. Lucie will gently introduce you to cutting and sewing curves using the Quick Curve Ruler. Note that this is a two-part Intermediate-level class, each three hours.
