 Learn machine applique using an easy raw edge fusible technique. This project features folk art style applique blocks inspired by the beautiful quilts made during the 19th century. Students will receive all 12 patterns and select one to work on in class. Learn all the details of the technique from perfect points to smooth curves and everything in between! Focus on quality workmanship and achieve beautiful results. Sue and her sister, Pat Holly, used this technique to create their award winning "The Beatles Quilt" and "The Space Quilt". Both of these quilts are in the collection of the National Quilt Museum and will be available for viewing during class. There will also be an option for students to design their own original block to add to the project. Students can choose to make the actual quilt featured or make a smaller version if desired.
