Dive into the world of quilting with our Four Block Sampler class. Designed for beginners and those looking to refine their skills, this class will guide you through the process of creating a quilt top. You'll learn to read rulers for accurate fabric cutting, follow a cut list, and master essential piecing techniques like strip piecing, half-square triangles, log cabins, and more. We’ll cover how to true up blocks, press seams correctly (an often-overlooked detail that can significantly impact how well your quilt comes together), and assemble your blocks and rows by following detailed diagrams. The pattern will come with the class. The focus of the class is on completing the quilt top. This class is for adults only (18+).
