Intro To Quilting II: A Sampler Quilt
The 10 week Intro to Quilting II: A Sampler Quilt is the follow-up class to Intro To Quilting I: The basics class. While this class is geared toward students who have completed the Intro to Quilting I class with Sew Squared, any beginning quilting student who is comfortable with and knowledgeable of proper sewing machine use, use of basic quilting tools (rotary cutter, ruler use, pinning, proper squaring technique etc. would be capable of completing this class. This is not a class for the complete beginner who has never taken a quilting class.
This class will build on skills previously learned. The quilt will be made with 4 blocks. Two of the blocks will be a twist on the blocks in the first class along with the introduction of 2 new blocks.
Old skills: making and pressing strip sets, making and squaring half square triangles, nesting seams, squaring blocks, sewing blocks into rows, marking the quilt top, building a quilt sandwich, free motion quilting, making and adding binding to a quilt
New skills: snowballing, flying geese, sashing and corner sets.
Tools Required: 12-1/2" square, 4 - 1/2" square, 6-1/2' x 24-1/2" ruler, rotational cutting mat (optional), straight quilting pins, seam ripper, rotary cutter, scissors, tape measure, stylus, seam gauge, basting spray, quilting pins, quilt clips, marking pens or pencil, walking foot and 1/4" foot with guide - (this is all of the basic tools purchased during Intro I).
