Quilting
The quilting project is designed to teach techniques and skills in making quilted, appliquéd or patchworked items for home or personal use. Youth choosing to do special projects would complete Design Your Own Project.
The beginning quilting project will teach about quilting and piecing. Learn how to select fabrics, to cut and stitch the quilt top, as well as finishing the quilt. Some basic patterns will be included in this project.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
