Join Chrissy Anderson in this 8-week Quilting Course to make a beautiful Bear Paw Quilt (best for seasoned quilters) or a Floating Star with an alternating Nine-Patch (best for those new to quilting).
Beginners: Although this course is great for a beginner quilter, strong sewing skills are a must. We also HIGHLY recommend attending our Quilting Essentials class which we run prior to each Beginner Quilt Course. This is a single class that ensures you get a confident start in the level of cutting, sewing, and pressing that quilting requires.

Floating Star for Beginners:
Chrissy will help you modify the pattern with a Floating Star/Alternating Nine-Patch combo that is beautiful but less technical. It is strongly recommended that beginners choose a small size; such as a wall hanging or throw.
