This class is designed to be simple, to get you on your way to quilting. Miss Mary designs their own patterns to include the beginner skills needed without being overwhelming for students. In this course we will be making the Glory Baby Quilt, it’s a small quilt approximately 1m x 80cm (39″ x 31.5″). On one side you can choose your favourite fabric (mine was this hexagonal print panel). The other side is made up of strips of fabric, including prairie points for some interest, plus a strip of the main fabric.
