quilting series: bohemian plaid quilt



In this advanced quilting class, students will learn to make a Mariner's Compass block using Robin Ruth's strip-pieced method and rulers. The 8-week class taught by our award-winning quilter Valeria Guimaraes will focus on the construction of the Compass Sunflower and petals, which create the focal point of the Bohemian Plaid Quilt.

The Bohemian Plaid Quilt features the Kaffe x Morris & Co. fabric collection, which is a one-of-a-kind collaboration using the Original Morris & Co. prints, recolored by the color master himself, Kaffe Fasset. Quilt elements include a 22” Compass Sunflower surrounded by two rows of faced appliqué petals, offset onto a pieced “plaid” background.

In this class, students will learn how to use Robin Ruth's unique strip-pieced method to create this focal block (shown in class photo); students will then have the skills and confidence to tackle many of Robin's other incredible quilt designs. See all Robin Ruth patterns here. Students will also learn how to create the beautiful, curved applique petals that surround the Sunflower. The class will not include construction of the remainder of the quilt (the "plaid" portions).

Please Note: There will be a (1)-week gap between classes 3 + 4 and between classes 7 + 8. Students will need to complete homework in between classes in order to finish during the timeline of the course.

A complete fabric kit is available for the class. It includes over 8 yards of fabric including the binding fabric, non-fusible interfacing for the faced appliqué petal elements, and the paper pattern ($12 value). Backing fabric not included in kit.
