PROJECT DETAILS

Learn how to assemble a scrappy modern palette, hone your craftsmanship and make a unique Hive quilt in this online event. The quiltalong includes the downloadable pattern, an extensive video tutorial on palette building with multi-colored prints, a live Q&A session on Facebook (a recording will be available afterwards) and a virtual exhibition. The Hive quilt can be made as a 52″ x 78″ napping quilt with 2 layout options or as a 30″x39″ baby quilt with one layout. The pattern explains how to cut triangles using common markings on mats and rulers without templates. A template page is also provided for those who prefer working with templates.
