First Quilt - The String Thing - 4 sessions
First Quilt - The String Thing - 4 sessions
The String Thing is a simple quilt that you’ll piece, make the back, baste, and quilt as well as bind. We really wanted a project that teaches all the steps but is sizable so you get accustomed to quilting on your home sewing machine. This quilt is quite forgiving and you’ll discover how simple it is to mix things up by just “flipping a strip”!
