Quilt Sampler 2022
This project is great for beginners as you can sew together with us. I will share with you traditional piecing techniques with our regular tools as well as new techniques with my favourite tools, which make our quilting journey less stressful and more fun – units are oversized and then we square up, we don’t have to try so hard to be perfect but we will look perfect at the end of the day. I told one husband once: you can build a house with a hammer and handsaw but it is much easier with power tools – these rulers are our power tools. This will also be great for our more experienced quilters, there may be some techniques you are not familiar with and besides, it’s always nice to sew a new project.
Back in 2022 we met each Monday @ 1:00 pm on YouTube, and all the videos are still there. Each week I demonstrated one of twelve 12” blocks and we had a couple of weeks for setting blocks or sashing and putting it all together. This brought us through the crazy grey wintertime and into spring.
Also, we have a Cindy Bee’s Quilt Sampler 2022 Facebook group where we shared our progress and you can ask questions, someone will probably have an answer for you if I’m not available - quilters love to share our knowledge.
Please remember, we are just a little Northern Ontario quilt shop. No fancy equipment or video studio, no professional videographer. Just Tiff and I welcoming you into our classroom via Facebook and YouTube. We are not perfect, but we tried our best.
What do you need?
So we recommend a fat quarter bundle of around 12 to 20 fabrics, plus some yardage for background and sashing blocks. However, this isn't set in stone. Feel free to use as many or as few colours as your heart desires depending on how scrappy you would like the end result to feel. You will need at least a few different colours or tones though for the piecing to work in your blocks, and you will need more meterage (yardage) of each colour if you are only using a few.
