Quilting Skill Builder Series I – VIRTUAL

Following up from the Basic Quilt Class, this series of 4 virtual sessions will teach a new next-level skill each week. Where The Basic Quilt taught the building blocks of quilting, this series will focus on a new technique each week, via a traditional quilt block using those techniques. Through these blocks, we’ll build the skills to go off and tackle projects on our own! (This class will produce four quilt blocks to use as you see fit, but not a finished project.)

Class Schedule:

Week 1 – Strip Piecing / Rail Fence Block

Week 2 – Foundation Piecing / Pineapple Block

Week 3 – Freezer Paper Appliqué / Orange Peel Block

Week 4 – Piecing Curves / Drunkard’s Path Block

Pre-Requisites
