Skill Level:  Intermediate

In this demo-style class, Mollie will show you how to make the two different nine-patch blocks, then you'll use the remainder of the time to work on making the blocks.  For the class, you can bring a selection of fat quarters (at least 9) OR, if you plan to make one of the three quilt sizes included in the pattern, bring the fabrics required per the pattern instructions for that size (see below). Please note we are not making a full quilt in this class - this class is set up as a demo-style designed to help you get started on making the full quilt on your own!

This class is suitable for advanced beginner quilting students who have taken our Quilting 101 class or have an equivalent experience level. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently. Students must be comfortable using a rotary cutter to cut precise shapes.
