I’m happy to announce that we’ll be starting a 10 week basic quilting series. I’ve got the very talented Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter here to help guide us as we make a Basic Patchwork Quilt. We’re breaking it down step by step! So come back each Tuesday to see how she puts it all together, from basic quilting supplies, choosing your fabric, cutting, sewing, and binding your quilt.
Once you’ve completed your quilt, you’ll be able to make fun and easy patchwork quilts for your very own or give to your loved ones.

Hunny you’ve got my attention! I’ve been wanting to start one for SO long!
Thanks for the invitation – I’ll be back next Tuesday!
I’m excited. Thanks so much!
I found your blog at just the right time! I’ve been wanting to learn to quilt for a while, and I’m pregnant, due with a boy in January, and I’d love to make him a quilt. Hooray! and Thanks!
So happy I saw this series on One Pretty Thing! I’m a follower, and can’t wait to learn more about quilting! I’m very new to it.
Vicki – That will be perfect timing. We should have this series complete in November, perfect for making your quilt by January!!
woohooo awesome! have been wanting to get started on something like this – new stay at home mum and creative juices are flowing! thanks heaps
Can you tell me when the next class will start? I’m new to quilting and this might just be the ticket for me!!
For the quilting, we have only been offering free tutorials online, and they are now complete. But at the bottom of this link, you’ll see the whole series of links that tell you what we learned with step by step instructions. If you follow them from the top to the bottom, you should know how to make a small baby patch quilt. I hope you’ll find it helpful.
