Whether you’d like to make a gift for a loved one, sew an heirloom to pass down, or craft a cozy moment for yourself, making a quilt is a wonderful way to express your creativity and hone your skills. The reasons for learning to quilt are many, but the basics are straightforward, and you’ll learn them all in this class from quilter and designer Justin of Keaton Quilts. With over a decade of experience in teaching quilt-making, Justin’s thoughtful and thorough instruction leads you through the tools, materials, and skills you’ll need to make your first quilt project: a twelve-and-a-half-inch quilt of the Churn Dash block. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll have the skills you need to move on to quilts of any size. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Quilting-weight cotton fabric (focal): ¼ yard or fat quarter, or eight each 4 ½” squares of fabric scraps - Justin is using a rainbow selection of quilting cottons from Joann Keepsake Calico Collection
  • Background fabric (white):  ¼ yard or fat quarter
  • Backing fabric (back of quilt): fat quarter or 15” square piece
  • Binding fabric (edges of quilt): ¼ yard, or 2 ½” x perimeter + 10”
