Learn techniques to prepare your t-shirts for your quilt (properly stabilize), plan a layout, select fabrics for your quilt, cut and sew your sashings, and putting it all together and adding the border. In the final class, you will learn about adding the backing, quilting options, labels and making the binding.
For homework each week you will need to complete the steps learned in class to be ready for the next session.
