Welcome to the first instalment of our 2024 mystery quilt-as-you-go course, 'Time to Bloom'. Over the next 12 months, we will be making a quilt-as-you-go quilt, and there is so much to learn.

All the videos are free on YouTube for everyone to watch. If you want to make this quilt with us and our international community, sign up on our website. [ Ссылка ]

In this video, we will show you basic cutting out for quilting.
You will learn how to use a rotary cutter and a ruler to cut out the blocks for the course.

For our course this year, we have two blocks for the price of one; each month, we'll make a patchwork block to learn a different technique. We will start with simple techniques and build up to more advanced ones, such as curved and foundation piecing. Each month, there will also be a bonus appliqué block designed by my daughter Alaura Poole with the theme of time to bloom. There's also 1 bonus patchwork block to make a total of 25 blocks. This gives the choice of making a large quilt with a layout of 5 blocks across and 5 blocks down, alternating between the patchwork and applique blocks.

You can also choose to make 1 block per month to make a smaller quilt. You can choose all patchwork, all applique or a combination of both.
You can use fabrics from your stash or purpose-buy fabric from the requirements list.

This year, we're making a monochromatic quilt and thought that it would be a fun idea to choose your favourite colour and then choose 5 fabrics ranging from a pastel tint to a deep shade. We're using Moda grunge in a beautiful range of blues with a light background and a small patterned backing fabric. The first patchwork block, is a simple design that is made up of four 9 Patch blocks that are made with a strip piecing technique. Month 1 is all about learning the fundamentals of patchwork and the important steps to making accurate patchwork blocks.
