Quick Quilting: Quilt-As-You-Go Placemats

Beginner

Your quick start to Quilting

This fun, fast-paced quilting class is perfect for absolute beginners and for those who’ve dabbled in quilting and want a satisfying, low-pressure project.

Using the quilt-as-you-go method, you’ll create a beautiful, practical quilted placemat while learning the essential building blocks of quilting — without the overwhelm of a full quilt. It’s a great introduction to quilting or a confidence-boosting refresher.

Join Lorena Uriarte, renowned Modern Quilter, to discover just how approachable (and addictive!) quilting can be.

This class is designed to give you quick wins, real understanding, and a finished project — perfect if you’ve ever felt intimidated by quilting but always wanted to try.

The Project:

This method allows you to:

-Quilt and piece at the same time -Avoid handling bulky layers -Achieve professional-looking results quickly
