Meet expert quilter Amanda Jean Nyberg and preview the techniques you'll learn to create a unique, fresh row quilt! Amanda starts by sharing her trusty fabric selection tips. Then learn to make your first blocks as Amanda shows you how to piece together both a framed and plain nine-patch block.
Next, construct three colorful blocks with Amanda's guidance. Learn how to use chain piecing to assemble your snowball blocks. Then move on to whimsical fan blades and zipper designs, discovering tips and hints along the way for how to keep things simple and fun.
No two quilts are built alike because no two quilters are exactly the same. In this lesson, Amanda encourages you to embrace your own style as she shows you two different methods for creating the same traditional block: the flying geese row. Better yet: Mix and match both for a varied look!
Expand your skill set while creating two more lovely blocks! Follow along as Amanda demonstrates how to construct the hourglass and framed square row for striking results. Plus, get a helpful primer on the benefits of value.
Perfect your half-square triangle technique as you make charming pinwheel and shoofly blocks to add to your quilt top. Amanda walks you through each step of the process from start to finish. Plus, see how to use fussy cutting to frame fun fabrics.
Move on to your 10th and final block! Get step-by-step instruction as Amanda demonstrates how to appliqué in two different ways -- with fusible web and by hand. Then stick around as she creates the classic orange peel block, or as her daughter refers to it, the "apple cake."
Once you've completed your blocks, it's time to assemble your quilt! Whether you're making a full-sized quilt or the smaller version, Amanda guides you through the process, showing you how to sew blocks into rows, add sashing, then join your rows for a gorgeous finished quilt top.
