Quilt Basics 102

Join us at Sew Magarbo for a Beginner Quilt course where students continue building their quilting knowledge and skills. 

In this class, students will build upon the basics learned in Quilt Basics 101. New skills will be taught to create a slightly more advanced, yet still beginner-friendly, QUILT TOP. This class is also great for quilters who are hoping to hone their current skills. Alert: lots of tips and tricks will be shared! 

During the 4 classes, we will tackle all the steps and skills required to make a 46 " x 46" quilt top. 

This Beginner Quilt class is a great way to learn new skills, meet quilty friends, complete a quilt top, and have fun! Students will have the opportunity to finish their quilt by attending separate "Finish It" classes that offer a variety of ways to quilt and bind their quilt tops.
