TASTER: Monkey Wrench/Churn Dash Quilt with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-May-2017
This traditional block takes on a new ease with the use of a layer cake and co-ordinating charm pack. However, it can be made from regular stash.
Valerie talks you through the two simple units of half-square triangles for the corners and then the twin rectangles.
The quilt on display was made from wool fabrics, about which you can find more information in our website, but this workshop would obviously work well in regular fabrics too.
