Today, I would have been greeting Laura and Charlotte, just a couple of my students, to my Flutter class at the Garden of Quilts event but as you are aware, there are no classes, lectures, demos or trunk shows this year (above picture taken at LAST year's Garden of Quilts event). Flutter is such a fun, happy and lively design that we patterned with Hidden Shoofly as part of our TWO Designs in ONE Pattern concept!! Do you want to know why? If you look closely at the Flutter block, you'll see the Hidden Shoofly block right in the center! Its the simple ADDITION of Quick Angled Rectangles to the top, bottom and sides of the Hidden Shoofly block that creates the Flutter block! Do you see it now? Pretty neat, huh?!!! I may not be teaching my Flutter class today but I do have Gem Stone Brights Flutter kits available here! Flutter typically takes a Fat Quarter bundle but we wanted you to experience the FULL color range of the Gem Stones Brights prints. Your kit will consist of 1/3 yard EACH of ALL the Gem Stones Brights prints plus background and binding! As you can see from the Flutter blocks above, the color shifts in tone and in others, the color shifts to a different color all adding to the charm and beauty of Flutter! If bright and white is not your cup of tea, we are also offering Flutter in our original Gem Stone prints on black ground here! Until next week, Happy "Flutter" Quilting! Gerri
