Quilt Block Pillow

Quilt blocks are so popular in the knit community recently, this pillow uses intarsia to accomplish the quilt block motif; the techniques used in this project are similar to those used in the very popular Heirloom Quilt Cardigan! This class is the perfect taster to learn the skills before diving into the Heriloom Quilt Cardi!

This multidisciplinary class will result in a beautiful pillow (or scatter cushion, if you rather).
