Fyresdal: A Quilt Inspired by Historic Textiles

Instructor Mike Ellingsen has set a personal goal to design a quilt each year based on an item from the Vesterheim collection. Fyresdal is his choice for 2026, inspired by one of the coverlets in Vesterheim’s collection.

There is a lot of cutting! A cutting list will be sent out before class so students can arrive and start sewing right away.

If you wish, you may change the color palette to customize your quilt.
