You’ve taken Beginning Quilting and/or know how to quilt, and want to expand your skills?Let’s make a Starly Quilt together!
The Starly Quilt by Cotton & Joy is a great way to get practice with half-square triangles, flying geese, and putting large quilt blocks together. Kaitlin will break down the pattern into manageable chunks over the course of four workshop sessions. There will be demonstrations and plenty of work time to build confidence in your quilting practice. There will be homework between sessions.
Pattern is included in the workshop cost.
Optional Bonus Session! If you’d like help choosing your fabrics, Kaitlin can meet you via zoom (week of September 28) OR meet up at Blue Bar Quilts (morning of Saturday, October 18). If you’ like to participate in one of these fabric selection sessions, there will be an additional $10 fee payable to Kaitlin directly via Venmo. Please email Kaitlin to confirm your interest.
A detailed supplies list is outlined at the bottom of this page.
