Each month a block representing
a Virginia flower was taught. Several different techniques were
used; such as, traditional piecing, paper piecing, appliqué
and ribbon embroidery. Blocks of various sizes were created and
at the end of the year the class learned sashing methods to bring
them all together into a finished wall-hanging. Some of the finished
quilts are shown below. |

At left is the "Instructors' Quilt." Each
instructor made a finished block for their presentation. At the
end of the year the blocks were joined to make a wall-hanging.
The wall-hanging was quilted by Cindy Clark. This quilt was raffled
"in house" and the winner was announced at the June
2009 general meeting.
