Advanced Beginner Quilting: Flying Geese Runner

Have you completed beginning quilting and your wondering what’s next? Advanced Beginner Quilting classes are the perfect next step. Each class series will focus on a different common quilt block that you’ll see over and over again in quilts. First up is the Flying Geese Block. This block can be tricky to sew without losing one of the points. We have some great tips to help you easily and accurately sew this block. Just like Beginning Quilting, the goal is for you to finish the runner at the end of the three session, so there will be homework each session.

Class 1: You’ve already learned to cut your fabric during Beginning Quilting, so we’ll have you do that ahead of time and we can get right to the sewing. During the first class, you’ll learn to sew individual Flying Geese blocks and sew Flying Geese four at a time.

Class 2: Have you ever had trouble getting seams to match up? Nesting seams is the solution. You’ll learn that and how to attach borders on your table runner this week.

Class 3: This week we’ll do a slight twist on binding and add a flange.
