In addition to all the things I teach in the three hour workshop, included in the six hour workshop are demonstrations on how to fit "non square" blocks together and how to make an uneven border as shown in the class samples.

Square Bull's Eye-Judy Lundberg, MD
Full Day: 9am-4pm
Square Bulls Eye is a scrappy quilt with raw edge appliqué. Pre-cut a multitude of squares and appliqué them in class for a very colorful quilt. The appliquéd squares are cut apart and rearranged. Batiks work particularly well as they are tightly woven and don't fray very much.
