The 'Back to Basics' workshop quilt

Now that the pictures have been shared with the HHQG members for this October/2025 workshop, I am free to share them here.  We're calling this workshop, back to basics, which is geared toward teaching beginners a lot if techniques or for a refresher for the more seasoned quilters.   

This is the centre block that will allow us to show the construction of a four patch, half square triangle, hour glass units, spinning the seams, plus webbing the block, and that is after showing them first how to use rulers, rotary cutters and pressing versus ironing.  All in just the centre block!!    

Then we'll move on to the first border where they will learn partial seams and stitch and flip corners.

For the second border, we're going to do more of a checkerboard affect with light and dark colours, to go over strip method and again spinning the seams to easy assembly.

And finally something more geared toward the more experienced quilters, we will do a mitered corner and if they are courageous a mitered corner using a striped fabric and matching the stripes. 

So, what do you thing?  It is the perfect size for a table topper at 27" square.  Though mine is going to Project Linus when I am done with it, as a NICU quilt.  I think I'll bring some more fabric with me to make another one, except this time I'll consider more warmer colours for my table.....maybe fall colours...not sure, but I'll see what I have so that I don't have to purchase anything.

Now I am off to the quilt show in Waterloo.  Have a great day everyone!
