Curious about quilting but not sure where to start? This hands-on beginning quilting class introduces the fundamentals of quilting by making a mini quilt using a single quilt block—a perfect, low-pressure way to learn the full process from start to finish. Students will learn how to safely and accurately cut fabric using a rotary cutter, assemble a quilt block, layer the quilt sandwich (top, batting, and backing), quilt the layers together, and finish with binding. The completed mini quilt can be used as a potholder or small decorative piece, making this class both practical and satisfying. Ideal for confident beginners who are comfortable using a sewing machine and want to explore quilting basics.
