Meet your instructor, quilt designer and author Gudrun Erla, and learn about the fun, fast quilt-as-you-go method that you'll use throughout class. And, discover the best supplies for your projects and prepare your fabric in anticipation of making five exciting projects.
Dive into your first project, a colorful runner that can be used for any occasion. Gudrun shows you how to prepare the batting before assembling the runner from the center out. Finish your project by adding a neat, simple binding using Gudrun's foolproof tips.
Put your budding quilt-as-you-go skills to use on a lovely quilt that calls to mind a flock of birds. Gudrun shows you how to create a "quilting map" as a placement guide, and then reveals how to make and assemble your units in neat rows.
Curves can be intimidating, but Gudrun shows you simple tricks to stitch the illusion of curves with confidence for this unique table runner project. Next, you'll learn how to add your background and border fabric, and finish your runner with gorgeous topstitching.
Change your thinking from square to circular as you tackle a sunburst topper that's bursting with color and energy. Prepare the pieces using wedge and circle templates included with class, and fuse the gaps between the wedges with easy-to-use fusible appliqué. Finish your topper with curve-friendly bias binding.
Don't let your scraps from prior projects go to waste - use them all up in a gorgeous pillow! Gudrun walks you through the process of preparing and color-auditioning your scraps, marking the batting, and assembling your pillow with either an envelope back or zippered closure.

Description

Bring beautiful projects to life with less fabric in a fraction of the time! Expert Gudrun Erla shows you how, beginning with the colorful Crossroads table runner. Follow along to prep your batting, piece your backing and quickly assemble your runner from the center outwards. Before you know it, you’ll be finishing this versatile project with a crisp binding. As you sew your next three projects, the striking Swarm quilt, the Disc Jockey runner and the Sunburst table topper, you’ll also learn how to efficiently cut and piece simple units, evenly align rows and add professional-quality borders and sashing. Plus, Gudrun reveals her tricks for working with fusible appliqué and achieving the illusion of curved piecing. Finally, you’ll use the scraps from your previous projects to sew the gorgeous Repo Pillow and find out how to add either a classic envelope back or sleek zippered closure.
