Description

Creating patchwork quilts can be accomplished in many ways. In this class, you will learn a simple technique involving a series of triangle squares and a sub-cutting method that will make a surprising and unique new block—all in four cuts and a bit of rearrangement. The Greek Wedding quilt begins with a few “broken dishes,” a bit of dance, and before you know it, you’ll have a new and unusual creation.

Colleen Tauke is a quilter, designer, and quilt educator with 40+ years of sewing experience. Of those, the last 17 years have been focused around quilting. Early in her quilting endeavors, she was challenged to piece a quilt that seemed daunting. Fussy cutting, Y-seams, strip piecing, hourglass blocks, a pieced border, and appliqué—all in ONE quilt. This was her first bed sized quilt that would later become a quilt shop sample and win third-place at the Iowa State Fair in the “My First Quilt” division. Since then, she was hooked!
