Simply Colorful

Today I am teaching a class at Sew Special Quilts, a nice little shop close to my house. We will be making this Simply colorful quilt. There are a couple of fun things about this quilt. First, the pieced blocks are made from one 5" charm pack! Second, this is a great quilt to do the square in a square block, if you have never done that before. I broke this quilt into two classes; the first one we will work on square in a square, the second putting the quilt on point and the borders.  If you have never put a quilt on point, this is a simple little quilt to learn on.

This quilt ended up darker than I had originally planned on it being.  The fabric I bought for the setting blocks clashed with the green in some of the pieced blocks.  I asked my class only to bring in the charm pack today so we can talk about fabric for the rest of the quilt before they buy it.  I am so excited about the class today, I love teaching and sharing my ideas and knowledge. Bonus, I teach at a great shop, and the ladies are always so great.
