Designs not covered in this class are Laura’s strip method such as Abilene (cow) or the Guardian Angel and her BoHo Blooms which is a machine applique process.  

During the class you will spend most of the time learning how to create the quilt top.  Our concentration will be on the creation process, tracing methods for large areas, placement techniques for motifs, layout and construction methods for the background and finally the quilting and binding.   In class you will concentrate on the main element of your collage and will have all the tips and tricks to complete your Collage at home.
