Quilt -As-You-Go String Quilt
The first week, you will learn the technique for making the blocks, and make a few that evening.
During the week between sessions, you will need to finish a minimum of 10 blocks.
The second week, you will learn how to join the blocks.
You will need a working sewing machine, 1/4" presser foot, walking foot, rotary cutter and ruler.
