Quilting Weekend - Where is the North Star?

This weekend course teaches you how to make a quilt featuring the same design entirely with straight seams. It is foundation pieced, a technique using paper backing to ensure accurate shapes, with pieces larger than would normally be found on a quilt like this, yet this course is still suitable for all skill levels. Novices can start slowly and work their way up, also there are challenges for more experienced patchworkers as well. Materials list will be supplied upon request.
