The Next Step

I have completed my January One Monthly Goal which was to finish the top then quilt and bind this sampler quilt. The fun fabric is Dandi Duo by Robin Pickens, I love the whimsy of the puffs of dandelions. You can see what others have completed this January at Stories from the Sewing Room.


The Next Step is a class that I teach which is a good ‘next step’ after you have taken beginner quilting.  It adds a few more techniques to your bag of quilting tricks.  In the next step we learn, a four patch, a rail fence and a half-square triangle and a double four patch.  Can you see all those blocks in this quilt? 


Once you have completed all the blocks, you can arrange them any way you please, symmetrically, or asymmetrically, square or rectangular, here are some links to how some past students have arranged their blocks.
