How I Made the Learner's Quilt Part 2

This is essentially a sampler quilt but as I’ve been learning to quilt I’ve just been finding tutorials or patterns for different blocks or techniques and trying them out as I go.

[{"selector":"#anim-21e7e2e1-a8b4-4887-a945-4fe3aadb6e1c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-98dd3230-2c8c-45cb-aba4-9154444cfd38","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58f4ebf2-44dc-4c7a-b218-48656e1b7058","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -98.09834%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Because this was a learner’s quilt with no plan for a finished size so none of the blocks were a standard size.

I’m actually really pleased with this Dresden Plate Block. It was a lot less fiddly to do then I feared!
