The thrust of the workshop is to develop unique, individual floral gardens from the numerous 4\u201d, 6\u201d, and 6\u201d x 9\u201d blocks given in handouts. Class work will complete several blocks then move on to composition, \u2018sew-able\u2019 arrangements, variations and preplanning an entire project. Handouts include all the floral and foliage blocks required as well as a \u2018cut up and organize a plan for your individual project. All levels are welcome but a basic understanding of foundation piecing is helpful.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>A \u2018Little Bit of Fun\u2019<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>3 hours<\/li>\n<li>Level: Beginner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Choose from several of the Just For Fun block designs.
