Scaling the Teaching Curve: A PCMI Teacher Program Residential Workshop Monday, July 29 Guest Speaker: Irena Swanson: Tube Piecing

Irena writes on her site:

I like to make beautiful quilts accurately and with streamlined methods. To this effect I have been developing a very accurate and fast technique for many quilt patterns: for all-over parallelograms and all-over triangles, for long or multitudinous rows of parallelograms and triangles, and for many other designs. I call my method tube piecing.
