Class Date & Time:

Thursday – September 25, 2025  10:15am-4:15pm

Class Description: 

This month’s Stripology project will be the beautiful Saga quilt, from GE Designs. This striking, geometric quilt starts with 10” squares and is much easier to make than it looks. It works with all different color palettes and fabric styles. You can use precuts or yardage for this quilt, and the Stripology Squared or Stripology XL rulers are recommended. Instructions for using regular rulers are included. 

Please note, students are welcome to work on a previous Stripology Club project instead of starting something new. Zina will happily offer support and guidance for any Stripology project from prior classes.
