On The Road Traditional Piecing Workshop
Are you ready to move on to something a little more complicated than just piecing squares? This adorable quilt block may look complex, but it's entirely traditionally pieced – no Foundation Paper Piecing required! In this class, I will guide you through the process of creating the quilt block using the On The Road quilt pattern. I'll share tips for success along the way, and you'll also learn how to sew the 45-degree angle corners using the Corner Square Triangle method (CST). While there will be many pieces to sew, we'll tackle them section by section to make the process more manageable. By the end of the project, you'll feel confident in sewing small pieces and using the CST method!
