Learn the Bargello Quilt Technique — it is easier than you think! Have you seen Bargello quilts and thought they would be too hard to make? Learn how easy they really are in this session with Toni Smith, aka Quiltoni. Learn the technique behind Bargello Quilt Making and how you can change and adapt it for any design or style! (Note: while this class is suitable for all levels, including beginners, prior knowledge of a sewing machine using a rotary cutter is required.)
