Intro To Quilting: How to Make a Sawtooth Star Square

Intro to Quilt Making! Let’s dip our toes into learning how to make a quilt square. We’ll explore some basics of quilting, such as how to cut fabric for accuracy and how to make the versatile flying geese pattern. You’ll come away with knowledge on piecing, hand quilting, applying bias binding and hopefully a lot more confidence and curiosity to explore the world of quilting. In addition, you’ll take home your very own mini quilt or quilted star banner that can be used as a pot holder, wall hanging, or trivet.
