Quilt As You Go.....Class


Comfort Quilt Day


Instructor: Barbara McDaniel
Leads a class in.....Quilt As You Go:


Barbara explains the Quilt As You Go Technique




There are several different Quilt As You Go Techniques.
Today we are learning the strip method.




We are checking out Barbara's class sample quilts



First Step:

Choosing coordinating fabrics...
Cutting them into 6 inch strips




I chose pale blues...




Betty chose florals...




Now to cut the batting:

Batting is also cut into 6 inch strips...




Batting was piled up on all of the tables...




Then we made strip sandwiches...
top fabric, batting, backing fabric



Let the sewing begin:













Barbara is doing a trimming demo



Time to clean up:

Next month we will continue the piecing/quilting
on these comfort quilts








See you in April for more.....Quilt As You Go
