The Homespun quilt pattern is a scrappy quilter’s dream!  With use of FQs or scraps from your stash, this quilt pattern allows for endless personalization.  This pattern also includes two layouts for even more options.  

Cutting and organizing are important and will help to ensure efficiency when piecing. In this class, we’ll talk about efficient methods for cutting, piecing (chain piecing), and finding consistency is more difficult than quilting stars and blocks. 

If you are unable to complete homework outside of class, between weeks, you’ll still be able to complete a smaller sized quilt in the given class time structure. If you are able to complete homework between classes, you will likely be able to complete the entire quilt top of a larger size.

*Skill Level:  Advanced Beginner - You have a good handle on the basics and are ready to dip your toe into more challenging waters. You’re still fairly new to sewing from patterns and could use help with how to manipulate the pattern to get a better fit. You want to add some new skills to your repertoire (invisible zippers, setting-in sleeves, sewing with a serger, etc.). Classes generally require homework.
