Celtic Knot - Quilt Block Workshop

Celtic knot designs are based on interwoven bands each winding over and under each other, seemingly without end. This is a hand sewn project. 

This workshop will teach you how to :

• How to cut fabric on the bias
• How to use a bias binding maker tool, manual and electric are available for you to try.
• How to use a light box

This workshop is suitable for those how have done some patchwork or sewing in the past.

Fabric Requirements:

• 12.5 inch background fabric
• 1 fat quarter of contrasting fabric - NB you will need at least a fat quarter size to allow bias strips to be cut. 

This quilt block workshop works beautifully as a standalone project, and the finished block could easily be transformed into a cushion. If, however, you'd like to create something larger, there are plenty of options available including a table runner, lap quilt or bed cover quilt.

You might choose to make several of the same block, or combine it with some of the other blocks featured in our workshop programme to design a quilt that is uniquely your own.

We also run regular Sash, Sandwich and Snack sessions to help you bring your quilt together. These workshops cover adding optional sashing between your blocks, incorporating borders, and preparing your quilt sandwich. You are very welcome to quilt your project yourself, or, if you prefer, have it completed by a professional long-arm quilter. We can then guide you through the final stage of finishing your quilt with binding.

Whether you're making a single statement piece or embarking on a full quilt project, we'll be here to support you every step of the way.
