Project: Nesting Spiral block

Skill Level: Beginner

Prerequisites: None

Fee: $400

Materials Fee: $10 per student

Learn to design and sew your own original Nesting spiral block. Nesting spirals are the simplest type of the four Simply Amazing Spirals. They are similar to a Twisted Log Cabin block, but we'll take the idea much further. Using the techniques in RaNae's best-selling book Simply Amazing Spiral Quilts, learn to create a Nesting spiral in any shape, plus a variety of ways to color them and use them in a quilt. You'll have time in class to sew a Nesting spiral block, then either finish a single block into a pot holder or use it as the start of a larger quilt.

Class kit includes preprinted foundations for two Nesting spiral blocks, sewing instructions, a pattern and batting for two pot holders.
