Quilting 2

Quilting 2-A Little Bit of Everything Sampler
This class is the second in our learn to quilt classes.
Ideally you will have completed our Quilting 1 for the Absolute Beginner Class before enrolling in Quilting 2.
The expectation is that you can cut multiple layers of fabric using a rotary cutter, follow a basic pattern and are familiar with sewing a consistent and accurate 1/4" seam prior to the class. Please speak to Carrie or Amy if you are unsure if this is the right class for you.
This class will lead you through the process of making a sampler quilt that can be as funky or traditional as you like. You'll make a variety of traditional pieced blocks using, along with some applique, and they'll all be assembled into a twin size quilt top. There will be weekly homework assigned to be completed between classes so please factor that into the time commitment for this course.
