The Skill Builder Quilt Along is a 10-week guided quilting experience for quilters of all levels, whether you are brand new to quilting or looking to refine your piecing and sharpen your skills.

In this quilt along, we'll work through a thoughtfully designed quilt pattern together, one block at a time. Each block includes a full-color quilt pattern that’s been carefully written and professionally edited to make piecing clear, approachable, and stress-free. No guesswork. No confusion. Just solid instruction and steady progress.

If you’re new to quilting, this quilt along will help you learn the fundamentals the right way.


If you’ve been quilting for a while, it’s a chance to slow down, refine your techniques, and maybe even learn a few new tricks along the way.

And you won’t be doing it alone.

What’s Included

10-Week Skill-Building Quilt Along

Each week, you’ll work on a new part of the quilt, building skills and confidence as you go, ending with a finished quilt top you’ll be excited to quilt and show off.

Weekly Step-by-Step Videos

Every block includes a detailed video tutorial where I walk you through the entire process from start to finish. If you need to see it to understand it, you’re in the right place.

Piecing 101 Mini Course (Bonus)

Perfect piecing starts with strong fundamentals. This mini course covers:

  • The quarter-inch seam (and how to achieve it)
  • The supplies you really need (and what you can skip)
  • Pressing tips that help your blocks lie flat
  • Cutting fabric with a rotary cutter

Basting Primer (Bonus)

Learn what basting is, why it matters, and how to baste your quilt properly so it’s ready for quilting, without frustration or mystery.

Done-For-You Quilting Plans (Bonus)

“Quilt as desired” isn’t helpful, so I’m taking the guesswork out. You’ll get clear, ready-made quilting plans so you can sit at your machine knowing exactly what and where to quilt.

A Supportive Online Community (Bonus)

Join a caring, encouraging group of quilters where you can ask questions, get help when you’re stuck, share progress, and celebrate wins, big and small.
