Learning How to Quilt With A Learner's Quilt: Part 2 Story

Learning How to Quilt With A Learner's Quilt

This is my second ever quilt. The intention was always to put these learning blocks all together into a quilt once I ran out of the leftover fabric I was using.

[{"selector":"#anim-6ce2ae8e-9df9-46fb-979a-2cbaf591321e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca26255b-13d8-48cf-bb9a-dfe3a539e675","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bfdedf37-964c-4d4b-a9bf-a31efacc8237","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.

Churn Dash Block

[{"selector":"#anim-53eeb578-e6cf-47ac-aaa7-b2e298a4c270","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae1f4871-1233-4af7-b758-dc5e8b63a16e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.04096%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc03610a-2a95-4b61-be42-94577c50a8db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-55a3ed4a-b658-4b5c-ba06-3d02f4f2923d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] I choose to do a Churn Dash Block because it is such a traditional feeling block but I of course gravitated towards this scrappy version using 1″ strips from Patchwork Facil.

The template for this block was from Pitcher’s Boutique. I was scared of it before I tried it, but now I see how much easier it makes it to get a crisp and precise outcome.

I didn’t do it perfectly but it still came out fairly well. Learn more

It was my first paper pieced pattern that was made up of more than one section and I was pretty pleased with the outcome. Learn more
