Potting Shed Quilt
What to Expect During the First Class During the first class, you will receive your quilt kit. In the first two classes, we will be cutting and subcutting the fabric. There will be no need to prewash the fabrics that we will cut in the first two classes. We will also discuss thread and needle selection for piecing, as well as supplies for the second class. In the second class, we will cut out from the panels and begin piecing the small units.
