About this course

This course builds the complete quilt-making workflow on the rotary-cutting tools and methods used in modern quilting. You will choose fabric that works together, cut precisely, piece blocks that lie flat and match at the seams, then layer, quilt, and bind a finished piece. By the end you can plan and complete a small lap quilt and know exactly why each step keeps your work square and durable.
