The Rock Valley Quilter’s Guild started in 1980 with a charter membership of 35. We now have over 200 members. Our primary goals of sharing in quilting skills, past history of quilting, and learning new techniques, are reached through workshop opportunities as well as outside speakers.
We meet the third Tuesday of each Month (except in August) at the New Life Assembly of God Church, 2416 N. Wright Rd Janesville.

Cosmati Rings I
This workshop introduces ring
foundation piecing using two easy “blocks.” The center roundel can be a
compass, plain fabric, or an applique design (those variations are
available for class) making this a very versatile pattern. Easy methods
for making multiple foundations for the pieced border are included.
Construction for the curved corner sections is readily accomplished use
a few clever tricks and the large curves are easily machine pieced.
Beginners can make this quilt!
