Welcome to the world of quilting. We hope with Simple Beginnings to teach you the basics of cutting, sewing accurate 1/4" seam allowances, putting a block together and then putting the blocks into a quilt top. You will complete the top in class and can then go on to learn how to machine or hand quilt your top.
Finished size is 38" X 53"
