Meet designer Kate Colleran and get started by learning her inspiration for the Flower Basket quilt. Then take a look at the fabrics you'll be using for your project.
You won't believe how easy it is to achieve perfect points on half-square triangles with Kate's trimming method! Plus, she'll show you how to trim larger blocks even if you don't have a large square ruler.
Discover the secret to matching points in basket blocks, and get tips for pressing perfection. Afterwards, see how to organize your blocks to chain-piece them efficiently without accidentally changing the placement of the pieces.
Follow along as Kate shares how to make quick work of chain blocks with strip piecing, and accurately cut strip sets, pressing where it counts.
It's time to put your quilt together! Kate wraps things up by showing you how to make a few simple changes to your blocks for a huge impact, then assemble them into both a twin and wall-hanging-size quilt.

Kate Colleran

Kate Colleran has been making quilts since 1978, and in 2003, she launched Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs with Elizabeth Balderrama. Together, they design quilt and tote bag patterns, a great way to put all of those fabric purchases to work! Their designs have been featured in McCall's "Quilting and Quick Quilts," and in "Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks." Kate's love of quilting and fondness for fabric shine through her lessons, and she looks forward to helping students become their own quilt designers.
