Scrap Mosaic

Using this ingenious method to create a complex seeming pattern in patchwork is actually quite easy. Nine patch blocks in two different designs are first made, then cut and reassembled. Basic rotary cutting skills and an ability to sew a quarter inch seam, plus a collection of fabrics are all that is required. In addition to basic skills the students will learn quick piecing methods to speed up construction, plus advice on fabric choices and colour selection. In one day it should be possible to create enough blocks to start a quilt which can be made to any size.
