Make Way for AnglePlay™—The Magic Four-Patch Unit

Description

In this workshop students will learn to cut with the AnglePlay™ templates, including cutting half-size and pieced triangles. They will make a number of four patch units using only 2 pieced rectangles and one pieced triangle, for a huge variety of block possibilities. Different students will have different "assignments," so students will see a lot of block variations during the course of the workshop. Bringing a camera to record such variations is strongly recommended.

Student Skill Level

All levels welcome, though basic rotary cutting and machine piecing skills are required.
