Avoca Lap Quilt

A Quilting Class with Nancy Schottler

Create a beautiful lap quilt that's as enjoyable to make as it is to snuggle under! Avoca by Rachelle Handmade for Villa Rosa Designs is a quick, fun summer project that transforms fat quarters and a coordinating accent fabric into a striking quilt with movement and visual interest.

Nancy Schottler will guide students through strip piecing, rotating blocks, and assembling them into a beautiful lap quilt top. You'll build confidence while learning efficient techniques that create a dynamic, eye-catching design.

Whether you're making your first quilt or simply looking for a fun project, Avoca is the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing day of sewing. Love the sample? Kits featuring the exact fabrics used in our display quilt, along with the pattern, are available for purchase at Cactus Quilt Shop.

Class instruction runs from 10:00 AM–3:00 PM. Feel free to bring snacks, drinks, or a sack lunch to enjoy while you sew.
