fun pattern and comes in multiple sizes and looks
great in any fabric. Pamela made her quilt using
Patriotic Red, White and Blue batiks, which is on
display at Cottontail Quilts. This pattern has been
made in all types of fabrics and they all turn out
beautifully. Sign up for this class early as

Flying Geese, Square-In-A- Square blocks, and more.
Learn simple design and setting techniques including
sashings, straight set, on point set, and medallion set
