OK...I enrolled the free class and so far love it
 
I kept hearing folks here talking about the free quilting class on craftsy so I figured why not...I will at least look at it...so glad I did...so far I love it! Very easy and quick so far. I did two blocks this evening after work.

Using all scraps for my blocks. I had a bag ready to go to my friends house. I dug in there and found a few 1 1/2 inch strips. For the backing of my block...you need a 12 inch block to slice and dice...I used a pair of one of my 100 percent cotton pants that did not fit me and for my other block I had some scrap Muslim that was in my bag of scraps that I was going to get rid of. Yah...two me..this was two free blocks. I did learn some great tips and...the blocks look so had to make, but they were very simple. Slice and dice blocks.

I've got the 2 blocks for Jan. done and really wish there were more than 2 for each month. I know I could make more than on each and may do that yet. Looking forward to next ones. glenda

I joined a while ago and finally made my blocks yesterday. Can't believe how fast and easy they are! Since they are "modern" looking blocks to me I am using orange and teal with a floral fabric to pull the colors from. Can't find my squaring up ruler so they are still a bit wonky. Isn't it amazing that you don't know you have misplaced something until you go to use it and can't find it!?

I signed up for the free classes. Just finished watching the first video. How fun and enjoyable. I am looking forward to making the first block. Thank you for sharing this information.

Crafty is a great site. The classes that cost a fee are worth it too. One workshop at my guild is usually over $40 plus buy a book or kit.

I liked the free class also, haven't had time to make the blocks but look pretty easy.
