                               OCTOBER PROGRAM

​       Oct 10 Lecture/trunk Show, "Scrappy Backs" with Nikki Abramson (LIVE). 


What should I do with those leftover blocks that didn't make it into the quilt top? Put them on the back!
Learn how to make your quilt backings more interesting and use your scraps from your quilt top. This is especially useful when the colors on the quilt top may not be your usual style or don't match other fabrics in your stash. Or when you have a baby quilt backing that needs to be just a little bit bigger. We will discuss how to do the math to make your quilt back just the right size with those orphan blocks, how to use panels in the backing for a stunning reversible quilt, and how to take care of seams going multiple directions on the backing to keep your longarm quilter happy.
