We only had a small class at Sawmillers Quiltery today - however it was a very productive one.
This is a technique class and from this, the participants can either make a cushion, bag or include it as a block in a quilt.

Before quilting if you are unsure which thread to use I always audition my threads.
Unwind the thread and lay it onto the quilt top. Thread always appears darker on the reel. In this case (yes a little hard to see) the rust was the winner. The blues were to controlling and Linda wanted a subtle look.
This will be the back to Linda's cushion. By moving her square ruler, she trimmed her fabric so that the center point is now off center. I think this adds interest.

Great class. I am looking forward to my next stacking bowtie class at Krazy Cow next month.
