Are you ready for the next steps on your quilting journey? Join us to make the Riding Mountain Quilt by Blanket Statement and learn some of the secrets to color confidence and precision piecing. 

This quilt’s show-stopping oversized Half-Square Triangles (HSTs) are a great opportunity to make strong fabric choices – whether you prefer bold solids, high-contrast drama, or playful prints. In this class, we will dive deep into selecting high-impact palettes that shine at scale so you can make a quilt that is bold, modern, and unmistakably yours. 

This class is also an opportunity to up your HST game. We will focus on how to cut, trim, and assemble quilt tops made with HSTs with accuracy – no more losing your points. You will also get expert assistance in laying out and piecing your quilt. 

Flow of the Class: 

The first class session will focus on fabric selection. You can bring fabric with you from your stash or spend time during class selecting and purchasing fabric from the shop. We will cut and prep pieces for assembly. 

In the second session, you will focus on laying out and sewing your quilt. Depending on the size of the quilt you choose to make (pillow 20”x20”; wall hanging 30”x30”; baby 40”x40”, or throw 60”x60”) you should complete most if not all of the quilt top in class.
