Winding Ways : AQC

The traditional block Winding Ways is also known as The Wheel of Mystery. Learn the magic of secondary design and accurate curved machine piecing. Discover how to transform your scraps into a cohesive design using colour and value, or use an ombre fabric for a simple, no waste design.

This workshop will focus on machine piecing the 12″ Winding Ways block to create interesting secondary patterns. The exercise can be simple or complex, traditional or modern, depending on the fabric choice.

You will learn how simple gentle curves yield an impressive impact, how fabric choices can change your quilt’s look, the impact of fussy cutting and how to make a secondary design ‘pop’. You’ll achieve accurate cutting and curved piecing techniques using the 12″ Winding Ways acrylic templates.

There is an option to create a straight or scalloped quilt edge, for those seeking an extra challenge!

The expected outcome of the class is that you will make enough blocks to create a cushion or small quilt.
