PRE-RETREAT SUPPLY'S/INSTRUCTION NEEDED
I love this quilt pattern, as it is great for both beginners and advanced quilters.
If you choose to pre-cut prior to class, you will go home with a finished top!
I’ve quilted for over 15 years and finally made one last October, and I love it.
(5” Pre-cut squares are not recommended – they are irregular and not precise enough to get the required 2 ½” squares.)
Look forward to seeing you in class!
