Using a special interfacing made by Quiltsmart, you will be able to complete this intricate quilt in a fast and easy way. The completed mariner's compass block measures 21" x 21". Kit includes the pattern, fabrics and Quiltsmart special interfacing. 02 - Puss in a Corner Instructor: Lynn Roddy Brown  This class is to be a fun, no pressure day of sewing. Lynn will cover scrap quilt theory, precise piecing and designing on a wall. Fabrics from you stash can be used to make this delightfully scrappy version of a traditional Puss in a Corner quilt. The 64" x 81" size is great for naps. The wonderful thing about scrap quilts is that if you are having fun you can make a larger quilt but if you want to stop with a smaller project that also works. Kit includes the pattern and fabrics. 03 - Illuminated Journey©2014 Karen Overton This is an original design by Karen Overton celebrating the 2015 Quilting Cruise offered by Cactus Quilts.
