Circle Sampler Block of the Month with Modern Blended Quilts on Zoom
Join this 7 month program with monthly demonstration of the block as you build/refine your quilter's toolkit of essential skills to include curved piecing, freezer paper circles, inset circles and precise flying geese to add interest in your quilt projects. Your finished wall hanging will measure 27" x 36". A very manageable project!
