Have you ever dreamed of making your own quilt but felt overwhelmed by where to begin? My First Quilt Class is the perfect introduction to quilting, and in my latest video, I take you behind the scenes to show you exactly what to expect! Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to refine your skills, this class provides the foundation to create a beautiful quilt top.

Meet Margo: Your Quilting Guide

This class focuses on essential quilting techniques that every beginner should know. Margo has carefully chosen each method to build your skills step by step. Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Appliqué – Adding beautiful decorative elements to your quilt.

  • 4-Patch Blocks – A fundamental piecing technique that creates stunning patterns.

  • Half-Square Triangles – A versatile building block for many quilt designs.

  • Adding Borders – Framing your quilt for a polished, finished look.

Each technique plays a role in the final design and helps you gain confidence in your quilting journey!

How Long Does It Take to Complete?

One of the most common questions new quilters ask is: How long will this take? The quilt top for this project can typically be completed in about 5-6 hours. However, quilting isn’t a race! Margo encourages beginners to work at their own pace and enjoy the creative process.

How Quilts Age & Care Tips

A well-made quilt is designed to last for years, but proper care is key. In the video, we discuss how quilts naturally change over time and share pro tips on preserving their beauty, from washing recommendations to storage solutions.
