Contemporary Mosaic or Crazy Piecing

Instructor, Julia PfaffThis fast-moving, fun class explores a spontaneous approach to a traditional quilting favorite, with an emphasis on contemporary design. Participants will learn a new way to piece quilt blocks together and ways to create unique arrangements of blocks. Using rotary cutting and machine piecing, you will create pillow tops or start a quilt top. This approach is a great way to use up scraps from other projects. Pieces will not be quilted during the class, but quilting options will be discussed.This program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is supported, in part, by the Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.Open to all skill levels.  Experience with basic sewing machine use is a bonus but not necessary.Sewing machines will be available for those who don't have one, but if you do have a sewing machine, please bring it with you.  Fabric will be provided, but feel free to bring your own fabric if you have it.A list of optional materials to bring to class will be available.Optional Materials List
