My First Quilt

A beginner quilt class for Teens and 'Tweens. The Butterfly Mosaic Quilt is lap sized 44.5" x 52.5". You will learn the steps of modern quilt making by machine and the latest tools. This quilt can be completed in about 4 weeks with some "homework" between classes.  If you are just starting out in the quilting world, and between the ages of 11-18,  then this is a great starter quilt.  The finished project will be beautiful and something that you will be very proud of.  Let Cheryl help you along the way to completion with this gorgeous quilt.
