Create this beautiful Winding Roads quilt designed by Karen Matsumoto and taught by Sondra Von Burg. The 12” block is made up of large curved pieces which go together pretty quickly. Sondra will show students how to be precise as well as give short cuts for those who are too excited to use more than two pins! Once the blocks are constructed, there are so many fun ways to put them together to create different patterns.

This is a fantastic quilt to showcase your favorite large scale prints, like Kaffe Fassett, Alexander Henry, or African dutch wax. Not into large scale or novelty prints? Use an ombre and gradate your color. The easy to use clear plastic templates (you'll need to buy the kit in class) allow for fussy cutting if desired. Sondra is happy to help with a challenge.

About the instructor: 

Alexandra Von Burg (Sondra), has been making quilts and teaching workshops for 25 years in the Bay area. Her focus has alway been on fast and fun, which sometimes equals aerobic.

They opened Bay Quilts to share their passion and knowledge with the vision of creating a community where artists, crafters, quilters, and makers of all ability can learn, grow, and create together.  This unique fabric shop is so much more than a store - from consignments quilts and gifts, and cloth figures to monthly gallery exhibitions and artist receptions to workshops.  Bay Quilts is a sanctuary for creatives of all skill level.
