Beginner 3-yard Quilt

One Day Class

Master the Fundamentals of Quilt Piecing

Discover the joy of quilting in this beginner-friendly workshop! We will take three yards of fabric--a light, dark, and contrast-- and make a throw size quilt with a double border.  We will use the book by Fabric Cafe "Big Block 3-Yard Quilts" available at the shop.  

This workshop is an introduction to the world of quilting.  We will learn to use a mat, ruler, and rotary cutter to cut our quilt pieces accurately.  We will also learn about pressing, precise 1/4" seams, and marking our fabric.

Beginning sewing skills are a prerequisite for this class.  You should be comfortable threading your machine, winding a bobbin, changing needles, and changing stitches on a sewing machine.

Bring your own machine and manual.  YOUR MACHINE MUST BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER FOR THIS CLASS.  If you need to rent a machine let us know.  There is a $25 fee for machine rental. If you purchase a machine from us, the rental applies towards the purchase.

Class is taught by Melinda Brown.

Basic recommended supplies:

Pattern Book "Big Block 3-Yard Quilts"  We will use this book for other classes in this series to build our quilting ​skills

Fabric:  1 yard contrast fabric (something fun like florals or animals), 1 yard light and 1 yard dark fabric

​please note: The pattern can easily be made larger by adding more blocks.  If you think you want to make it ​larger, then buy more fabric.  Also, the pattern does not provide for binding that is what I consider "normal" ​binding, so figure another 1/4 yard of your dark fabric for binding.
