Colorbrick: a beginner's Quilt-Along

Are you ready to make your first quilt?  Nervous?  Don't know where to start?  Join me for a quilt-along perfect for beginner quilters.

I'll be posting step-by-step directions for how to make my Colorbrick quilt, a great quilt for beginners.  The quilt-along includes basic quilting skills like using a rotary cutter, chain-piecing, basting, binding and quilting.  It's so easy to make.  Large pieces come together quickly, but the effect is more interesting than a simple block quilt.

You CAN do this!  Come on - there's no time like the present to get started!

P.S.  Are you wondering if you're ready to make this quilt?  I'll be assuming you know how to sew a straight line with your sewing machine.  That's pretty much it.  So, minimal sewing experience is recommended.  We will be using a rotary cutter too.  If you don't already own a set up, see my suggestions under "Rotary Cutter Extras" on the Get Started Supply List.
