LLCFT 310 - Contemporary Quilts Next Steps: Hand Quilting and Finishing

Acquire the skills you need to finish a completed quilt top or whole-cloth quilt. You'll learn the hand quilting stitch, how to choose and mark a quilting pattern, preparing the quilt sandwich, squaring up the quilt after quilting, and preparing and applying the binding, hanging sleeve, and quilt label. We will work in a supportive quilting bee environment where you learn and work together as a group. Please note that this is a finishing class and you will not be piecing a quilt top during this time. Bring your completed quilt top (if you have one) to the first class; if you don't have one, don't worry; you'll be given instructions to make a whole-cloth quilt. Supplies will be discussed during the first class meeting and should be purchased prior to 2nd class. For creating a lap-sized quilt top from scratch, please see LLCFT 287 -- Hand Piecing Contemporary Quilts.
