Learn a classic quilt square - the Sawtooth Star - in this fun pattern by Then Came June. The Star Adventure Quilt Pattern is a great beginner quilt that can be made in a variety of ways. Participants will learn all steps for creating a quilt, from measuring and cutting fabric, sewing perfect squares (and half square triangles!), and finishing your quilt.

*Skill Level: Beginner - You’ve taken a class or two and are starting to get comfortable with the basics. You know what a seam allowance is, you’ve sewn a little on your own, but you still need a little help with remembering how to thread the machine and wind a bobbin. These classes usually have little if any homework to complete outside of class time. The prerequisite for any Beginner class is a Sew Basics class, Learn to Sew class, or equivalent. This skill level is not for people who have never used a sewing machine before.
