About This Class Breezeway is a striking modern quilt that uses angled piecing to create a sense of movement across the quilt top. Instead of traditional straight‑line blocks, the angled units create a gentle drifting or wave effect, giving the quilt a dynamic, flowing look. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to confidently sew angled seams using the Quick Straight Ruler™, which makes the process smooth, accurate, and approachable. Norma will guide you through block construction, layout strategies, and tips for keeping your angles crisp and consistent. Whether you prefer bold contrasts or soft gradients, Breezeway is a versatile design that looks stunning in any color palette — perfect for quilters wanting to explore modern piecing techniques with a fresh, flowing aesthetic.
