If you’ve always dreamed of making a quilt but felt intimidated, this class is for you! Over four sessions, students will complete the Spinning Pinwheels quilt top while building confidence, skill, and creative flow.
Throughout each week, you’ll immerse yourself in hands-on practice with clear demonstrations and supportive, step-by-step instruction. Each session focuses on constructing precision quilt blocks, helping you steadily build technique and see real progress. Alongside the technical work, you’ll explore the artistry of layout—how color, value, and placement can completely transform your quilt’s visual impact.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a fully completed quilt top - your first in a series of heirloom pieces!
What You’ll Learn:
• How to measure and cut fabric the quilter’s way for precision and accuracy
• Introduction to essential quilting tools and equipment
• Foundations of precision piecing and pinning
• Understanding color, value, and visual impact in quilt blocks
