Quiltworx: Panel Borders

Led by Carolyn Heniges

This class students will pick a panel and choose a Quiltworx Border. There are three border options to choose from shown below that expand standard panel sizes 24”X44”, 30”X44” or 36”X44” to throw quilts that finish as 48”X68”, 54”X68” or 60”X68” respectively. This is an intermediate level project to get students familiar and comfortable with Quiltworx designs and techniques with some sewing background needed for this project. Some border designs includes some gentle curved piecing but the projects are primarily straight stitching/piecing.

What Students Will Learn:

• Quiltworx Basics: Master pattern reading and specialized techniques for perfect fabric placement.
• Flawless Accuracy: Learn straight sewing secrets that ensure blocks line up perfectly with adjacent blocks every single time.
• Learn some curve piecing that highlight the star points
• Paper-Piecing E iciency: See how Quiltworx engineered newsprint patterns guarantee precision and makes it a piece of cake!
• Understanding of how to convert a panel to a full finished throw quilt
