Percy the Penguin Quilt (Sat Mar 14/26)

Percy The Penguin is full of personality for its small size. This baby/child-sized quilt is simple to make using the Mini Creative Grids 60-Degree Diamond Ruler. Gain confidence in piecing with angles (no Y seams) and fabric selection. The pieces are large and uncomplicated, letting the fabric do the talking. Choose a palette of cool blues for an arctic look or use a favourite colour scheme to match a specific room decor. 

10am - 4pm.

FABRIC & SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Refer to the back of the pattern 
Creative Grids 60 Degree Mini Ruler

SUGGESTED SUPPLIES
Microtex 90 needle (little bit sturdier than your regular quilting needle)
Wool Pressing Mat - helps make super crisp seams
Travel Iron - if pressing at your sewing station, a smaller iron takes up less space!


PREP WORK BEFORE CLASS
Precut STRIPS of fabric as per pages 2 and 3. You will subcut your fabrics in class.
*You may wish to starch and press your fabric pre-class (we like Best Press). This will help reduce fraying and stretching on the bias after cutting. With so many small blocks to assemble, starching pre-cutting helps with cutting and piecing accuracy.

WHAT IS IN A BASIC SEWING KIT:
For most of our classes we ask you to bring (along with your sewing machine) a 'basic sewing kit' which usually contains: rotary cutter and/or scissors, cutting mat, small snipping scissors, straight pins & a pin cushion or collector, seam ripper, a spool of neutral 50 wt cotton thread, extra bobbins, notebook & pen/pencil, tape measure/ruler(s), etc.

CLASS CANCELLATION POLICY:
Classes are non-refundable. No credit or refund will be given for a "no show" in class, regardless of reason. So please ensure that you are able to attend before signing up. You are welcome to arrange for someone else to take your spot in the class instead. Around The Block reserves the right to cancel classes/events for any reason. If this happens, you will be refunded your full class fee.
