Learn the art of quilting with our Half Square Triangle Star Quilt Block Class! In this 3 hour class for advanced beginners, you'll learn the foundational skills of assembling half square triangles to create a beautiful 8-point star quilt block. Along the way, we’ll explore color, pattern, and contrast while discussing how to scale up your block into a full quilt or use it in creative ways.

You’ll get experience with precise cutting, machine piecing, and problem-solving. This class is part of an ongoing monthly quilt block series, with the option to combine blocks into a sampler quilt. By coming to each class you'll learn different skills in order to make each block. Our hope is to make it easy for beginners to quilting to feel empowered to continue quilting on their own. Attending future quilt block classes is optional and designed for anyone to jump in at any time. Each block of the month class is purchased individually. 

Skills you'll learn:

  • How to measure and cut fabrics to reflect the design
  • How to piece together your cut fabrics
  • How to think about color print and pattern in your design
  • How to build onto each block

Skills expected:

  • Beginner sewing skills - this is not a learn to sew class, so you should have some previous sewing experience

Materials provided: sewing machines, cutting tools, marking tools, cutting mats, thread, irons
