At Hometown we love an unusual technique that produces an impressive quilt pattern. This tessellated quilt pattern is the perfect vehicle for using a charm pack / Sweet Treat. This is also a great skill builder class as you’ll get more confident working with colour and pattern. Students should be competent sewing accurate 1/4-in seams - we’ll teach you the rest! Machine sewn.

The technique can be sewn into a variety of sizes of quilt. Quantities shown here will create a quilt approximately 88 x 88cm (34 x 34in)

Materials and equipment required:

• Sewing Machine. A basic sewing machine is fine. Don’t forget the 1/4-in or standard straight sewing foot pedal, lead and instruction booklet. Alternatively you can hire a machine subject to availability (just add to your your booking)

• Rotary equipment - mat (at least A3 in size) and rotary cutter with a sharp blade and ruler
