Meet your instructor, television personality and AccuQuilt spokeswoman Eleanor Burns. Get a sneak peek of the three quilts you'll have the opportunity to make in class, and start learning the basics of how to cut fabric with the AccuQuilt GO! die cutter. Eleanor shares advice on how to choose fabrics before helping you start the Flower Basket quilt.
Now that your Flower Basket blocks are ready, it's time to cut and sew the surrounding setting triangles. Eleanor shares helpful cutting and measuring techniques before demonstrating easy, efficient methods for sewing your block pieces together. Learn how to zip flower fabric pieces through the AccuQuilt GO! to create beautiful, simple appliqué pieces, and sew them on as you complete this sweet, beginner-friendly quilt.
Dive into your second project, a Garden Walk quilt that incorporates four-patches and accompanying triangles that merge to create a bright flower design. Eleanor demonstrates both traditional and AccuQuilt GO! methods for cutting your fabric, and shares engaging tutorials for assembling and chain-piecing your triangle units.
Learn Eleanor's methods for creating a classic four-patch block, which entail cutting and chain piecing your blocks quickly and easily. Next, you'll learn how to finger press the seams to reduce bulk and sew all of your blocks together. Once you've finished your blocks, you'll add lattice and cornerstone pieces and a border as you complete your darling quilt.
Ready to take on a slightly more challenging project? Eleanor offers fun ways to tackle the flying geese blocks that play the starring role in this cheerful, traditional quilt design. You'll learn how to measure, cut and square up your geese units, carefully assembling them to ensure they're all properly aligned. You'll finish the lesson with perfect points and rows of symmetrical geese!
Explore ways to make flower designs that pop off of your quilt with Eleanor's secret: using straight or bias strips to create vines and stems. Cut the strips before attaching the vines to the background, and tackle gentle curved pieces using Eleanor's sewing tips. You'll learn valuable troubleshooting techniques along the way that will help you turn mistakes into masterpieces!
Put the finishing touches on your Geese in the Garden quilt as you create bright, friendly flower appliqué shapes and perfectly pointed leaves. Additionally, Eleanor shows you how to create a lovely scalloped binding that adds a feminine touch to your quilt, and shares multiple projects that will help ignite your imagination.
