Quilting Makes the Quilt



It’s not a quilt till it’s quilted, right? We’ll start with a simple design, then learn how to pull different elements from that design to build a cohesive plan for your quilting. We’ll add echoing, exciting backgrounds, and complementary designs to create a masterpiece. Starting with sketching out your ideas, we’ll move on to marking tools to get all your great ideas on your quilt, and then looking at how thread can really make designs pop.

• Start with a basic design, resize and make it fit

• Draw out designs, create a cohesive plan

• Add extra to your quilting designs: echo, expand, repeat

• Explore different grids for laying out your design

• Fabric choices and how they can make your designs stand out
