Dream Quilt from Makower with Valerie Nesbitt
Cushions (quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Oct-2018
As this lovely quilt uses foundation piecing, it is a great quilt for beginners. Meaning you just need to sew on the line – so no need to worry about seam allowances!
In this workshop Valerie guides you through the downloadable notes. She talks you through the various sheets of templates which you need to print. Some for sewing through, and others are for guidance only. This is particularly helpful if you want to make a smaller version of the quilt , say for a cushion, using only 4 blocks and sashing.
Valerie demonstrates how the foundation piecing technique work – using a great little idea of a piece of card .
Valerie has added some helpful workshop notes for subscribed members, which should be used in conjunction with the free pattern download from Makower.
