Cloud 9 - Tucker Technique and Design Class #1

Ever wonder if you could design your own quilt? You can! This class is a technique building class utilizing the Studio 180 Design’s Tucker Trimmer® I or III ruler and a new technique called the Shaded Nine Patch. You will learn to make the block in a variety of sizes and build designs with it. The fabric selection can be scrappy from your stash or an intentional fabric selection.
