Magic Trick Series - Box Fans

Class Description:
This is another chance to make a quilt in the “Magic Series” from Carolyn’s In Stitches. This quilt is made using a 2 ½” strip and a 5” strip sewn together. When cut into 7” squares and sewn together using a special placement, “Magic” happens. Those tiny pinwheels are formed without any little pieces! Carolyn will show you how. It’s another one of her most popular designs because it’s unique piecing makes it quick and the “Magic” always amazes, even her!

This design is made with two dark and two light fabrics plus sashing and cornerstones. Come join the fun!
