In this workshop, you'll learn to make the Free Wheeling Single Girl quilt block by Denyse Schmidt. This beautiful update on a classic inspired hundreds of quilts in an Instagram Quilt Along. The workshop will focus on putting your fabrics together, (colour, scale) using and cutting with a quilt template* and how to make a curved seam. You'll finish a block by the end of the day.
