Indigo, Let’s Go! Double Four-Patch From Indigo Quilts: 30 Quilts from the Poos Collection • History of Indigo • 5 Projects by Kay and Lori Lee Triplett Class Description: The emphasis of this 6-hour beginning class is to teach the basics of rotary cutting, strip piecing by machine, and Seminole piecing. By reducing the number of blocks, you can make a quilt top that can be made in the class. By increasing the number of blocks, students could expand to a king-size quilt. Students will learn how to do the math involved in setting blocks on point and how to do a simple but graphic border which can easily be reduced or expanded to any size. The pattern is easy enough for beginner classes but could emphasize color dynamics and fabric choice for more advanced quilters. If your students are true beginners, additional classes could be scheduled to teach four-patch construction, setting the quilt together, and finishing the edge. The class could also feature a four-patch block exchange to get a variety of fabrics.
