 You’ll fall in love with this happy, scrappy quilt before you start cutting, as it uses up all of the small bits and pieces of fabric that were too pretty to throw away. Don’t be afraid to pull together all kinds of colors, prints and textures … the 'white’ unifies and frames it all. You’ll be amazed, too, by how fast and easy it comes together with Helene’s guidance. Learn piecing techniques you’ll use throughout your quilting life, including fast and easy half square triangles (HST), how to accurately trim an HST, how to easily (really!) sew long rows together for large quilts and more. Add a bit about color and color value, and a discussion about how you can quilt it for best effect, and you’ll leave with a small top completed, or the start of a larger project. It’s a fast, easy project, loaded with valuable lessons for everyone who makes quilts.

Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.
