Beginner's Quilt

When you go through the process of creating your own beginner quilt, you'll learn fundamentals that will help you with any quilt project you attempt in the future! To make this quilt, you'll learn to use the industry standard rotary tools (cutter, mat, and ruler) to accurately cut your fabric pieces, sew with a quarter-inch seam allowance, and tie your quilt layers together with thin yarn or embroidery floss.
