I have loved this quilt for a whole year now!
It took me 6 months to find the exact fabrics for making it.
Some of my favorite tools we will use are these.
I can't live without these!
I love Quilters Select rulers and cutting boards.
The rulers are non slip.
Any or all the sizes are fabulous.
I recently found a 2 1/2 x 6 1/2"
(recommended by Tula Pink)
I LOOOVE it!
My favorite scissors are Kaye Buckley 5" serrated.
Any brand of rotary cutter!
You all know my fav is the 18mm
but
when cutting so many layers, I use the 45mm
The key is a NEW BLADE.
Treat yourself right...change it often.
There is nothing sweeter than a sharp blade.
Such a simple joy in the art of quilting.
It saves your arm, wrist and hands.
JUST DO IT!!
Quilters ask me all the time...
'What tools should I buy?'
ME:
'The best tools you can afford at the time.'
There will be a lot of cutting... I can not lie.
1416 Half Square Triangles
and
9 wonky Stars that will make you question your sanity.
Together,
we will explore methods of HST(half square triangles)
There are so many ways to eat this elephant.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32 at a time!
And in the end, you will be so proud of yourself!
I plan to start this fun the first week of January 2026.
There are a few quilters who still need a bit of time.
If you choose to start before...start your engines!
If you want to try new techniques don't cut up your fabric yet!
There are faster ways!
If you have come to the party late....there is still time.
If you want to use your own fabric,
we will have books available as well.
