Jeffrey Sincich
Quilted Cotton

In Class:
1. Make a quilted letter. Choose any letter from letter block pdf (L, I, T must be combined with another letter since they are too simple). Patterned precut strips of fabric, printed pdf, and muslin are available in the Sewing Lab. Binding of the quilt (the finishing of the edges) will be covered later.

Today, students’ goal is to 1. piece together the patchwork/piecework top with the letter and border, 2. create a quilt sandwich with quilting stitches, 3. trim the quilt’s edges. All steps for making the quilt sample are in the video Quilt Sample: Letter Q; work alongside me.

2. Pin an image of what you accomplished today with your samples before leaving the classroom!

3. AS ALWAYS, PLEASE TURN OFF THE IRONS BEFORE LEAVING THE SEWING LAB.
