The beauty of a meticulously-crafted wholecloth quilt is impossible to understate and can seem intimidating to the uninitiated. Quilter and author Sue Nickels demystifies the process by breaking it down into manageable steps. First plan out your design by dividing your quilt into segments, and carefully mark from the center out. Then, trace ruler shapes for precisely rendered designs. Finally, explore feathers and fillers as a finishing touch, resulting in a miniature heirloom piece.

This was a very thorough and well explained tutorial. I appreciate that the instructor went through each step visually coaching all along the way. I believe I can tackle this quilt now . It will give the ability and confidence to finish off my larger quilts using these techniques
