The Fiesta Vases Quilt Project
(This project was taught in 2006, 2008, 2010, & 2014.)


The Fiesta Vases Quilt Project is for all skill levels - including beginners.  These patterns are a student favorite.  You may see pictures of student blocks on below the instructor's blocks on this page.   This is a 7-month project  which includes 5 large blocks, plus 2 filler blocks with pieced sashings.  Students may choose to make 3 additional large blocks for a larger quilt.  This would extend the class time to 10 months.

Students must purchase their “Fiesta Vases” pattern set at the site address shown below.  The pattern set is found in the Pattern Collections Section.  For the extra 3 blocks, click the "enlarge" link to view a larger quilt arrangement.  You can order each block separately month by month for $8 each, or order as suggested below:

-Set for square quilt is $48 (includes the 5 large blocks, the spacer blocks, and the pieced sashing).  Order this set to begin classes, then the other 3 later.
-Three additional blocks needed for rectangle quilt would be $24 (3 x $8)
-Total should be $72 (no postage if orders are over $20 each).

Additional Blocks for the Larger Quilt
Blocks are Amaryllis, Bird of Paradise, Calla Lily, or Dogwood.
Although only 3 are shown in the larger quilt, there are actually 4 blocks that will work.  Choose your favorite 3, or make the 4th one for a wall hanging.
