Description
$20 IS FOR THIS CLASS ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE KIT
The Mayfair Block of the Month is a beautifully designed 11-month quilting program inspired by the elegance of London’s Mayfair district during the early 1800s. This quilt uses 13 specially chosen fabrics that reflect Regency-era clothing and floral displays, creating a fresh yet timeless palette of greens, pinks, purples, and creams from the Wing and a Prayer fabric lineup.
Using traditional piecing techniques, students may choose to complete the quilt in Large Throw, Queen, or King size. A specialized section of the quilt may be completed using either piecing or appliqué, allowing for personal preference and skill growth. Additional sessions will be offered for students completing the King size, as needed.
