Travel Quilt workshop

On Saturday, Val taught a fantastic travel quilt workshop. The quilts are batting-less, and the front and back are joined along half of the inside seams in a really neat technique. They’re perfect for folding up small and taking on plane trips, and they’re also great for gifting!

Val showed us how to make the quilts even more quickly by using half-yard cuts and strip piecing, and Norine made an adorable one using Cotton + Steel prints.

Nancy F was the only student who didn’t use the strip piecing method — she planned her layout before class and sewed her quilt together with blocks she had cut out beforehand. It turned out wonderfully!
