Dates: August 19 through October 27
You’ll learn how to foundation piece strip sets accurately and efficiently, make the 4 types of blocks, and get those offset seams to line up. I have lots of tips and tricks to share with you along the way!
Progress>Pride Quilt Pattern
Progress>Pride is a quilted interpretation of the “Progress” Pride flag design by Daniel Quasar. This beginner friendly pattern includes detailed, full-color diagrams and instructions, so that even a first-time quilter can confidently make a statement to show their pride!
Who gives a Flying Geese about perfection?
When making flying geese blocks, you have to make a personal choice to prioritize speed, efficiency of materials, or getting it to look exactly the way you want it, but it can be hard (maybe impossible?) to get all three at once. So, which two do you pick?
Progress>Pride Quilt
I recently came across an article about this beautiful design by Daniel Quasar and knew I had to translate it into a quilt. It’s a pride flag, redesigned to add representation for marginalized communities. Beyond all the symbolism (more on that below), it’s a striking design, which incorporates stripes, black and white, and rainbows. How could I resist??

Glitch
Glitch is a bright, modern quilt inspired by “glitch art,” the serendipitous beauty that is sometimes the result of computer failures. The dynamic, striped 8” blocks come together quickly and accurately thanks to a unique foundation paper strip-piecing method, shown in detailed diagrams.

Crystalize
Crystalize is a versatile, modern, quilt pattern. The large, foundation paper pieced block seems to shimmer and draws the viewer closer as it shifts between dark and light strips. The pattern includes detailed instructions for foundation paper piecing without wasting lots of fabric. Choose from the Grid or Medallion layout for a fat quarter friendly lap size quilt. Make a single block for a beautiful mini quilt.

This geometric, modern landscape quilt combines simple curved blocks with strips to evoke a moment of dramatic weather. This pattern includes tips for piecing curves, so even a confident beginner can successfully make a striking wall hanging or throw quilt.
