In this beginner friendly 2-hour workshop, we'll be learning a quick piecing method to create these classic blocks. Blocks are typically made with a lighter fabric and a darker fabric. Fabrics can be all the same, or this is a great opportunity to use fabric "scraps" you may already have.

His love of colors and fabric drove his obsession and he's looking forward to sharing it with you!
