One Block Wonder using Panels Workshop by Anne Marcellis - Brentwood - 2 days

There will be 2 sessions for this class. You may sign up for one class or both. The first day, October 13, will be for cutting out your blocks.

The second session on October 15 is going over Anne's instructions for putting your quilt together.


KIT fee: $10

ALERT!!! PREPARATION BEFORE CLASS:
-Make sure you have 7, not 6, panels (Please e-mail or text me a picture before purchasing AT 517-750-4065)

TIP: You don’t want a lot of solid background. You do want contrasting colors. Do NOT prewash panels as they’ll lose their shape.
-Starch all panels. I love Faultless Premium Spray Starch. To use: spray liberally on the back of the fabric, let sit few seconds to soak in, iron the front side of the fabric. Starching aids in piecing and pressing-trust me, you’ll be happy with the results!
TIP: If you soak the fabric with starch, let it dry for about 20 minutes, it will be stiffer. Then press.
I love Clover flowerhead fine point pins .45mm (not .55mm) not mandatory
**Test yours by laying ruler on top and see if ruler is still laying flat
NOTE: If you can’t purchase any of these supplies, please let me know as I’d be happy to help.
This will be fun!

-Wrap all 7 panels around a pool noodle or empty bolt, pin to it, then tie so fabric doesn’t get wrinkled.

-Look for “One Block Wonder Panels” in Pinterest for inspiration
To see your panel in assorted hexies, take a picture and go to On Block Wonder Design Helper This will get your creative juices going!!
