Your First Quilt Block

Students choose either a classic nine-patch or rail-fence block and complete at least two finished blocks from start to finish. Emphasis on accurate cutting, consistent ¼″ seams, pressing techniques (open vs. to the side), and nesting seams. Great confidence-builder that produces usable blocks for a future quilt.
