Raspberry Fudge Ripple "Raspberry Fudge Riple" (Beginner and Up)

It is a beautiful quilt which allows for some fancy quilting in the border. The final border could be made with a jagged edge as shown on the pattern cover photo or we will discuss in class how to make it a straight edge border. When you sign up for this class, you will receive some preliminary cutting instructions to be done before the first class. It would be very helpful to bring a 6" square ruler to the first class.
