13 – Land That I Love

Description: The lone star in the center of the quilt is created using preprinted fusible interfacing by Quilt Smart.

The borders surrounding the lone star will use multiple piecing and applique techniques. We will go over methods for creating flying geese, half square triangles and basic patchwork as well as applique using fusible interfacing.

The size of the quilt is easily adjusted to fit your needs by simply adding or subtracting the borders used.
