Quilt Blocks with Paper and Card

2 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

A few months ago, one of the ladies who comes to my in-person classes asked about making cards using Quilt Blocks – I am always up for a challenge and love it when someone requests a technique or a fun fold. I made and shared the Log Cabin block in my You Tube live and had such fun I made two more a while later on another You Tube live. Check out the Pinwheel and Shoefly blocks below.

If you are unable to get to my in-person classes I have an on-line card class to go each month. You can check out the details for September’s class here
