Making a Quilt Plan PDF Guide
$21.00
Plan your quilting. Tackle your top. Finish what you started.
You spent weeks (okay, maybe months) piecing a beautiful quilt top. You followed every step, pressed every seam, and then your pattern says "quilt as desired" — and you're left staring at it with no idea what that actually means.
You're not alone. Most quilt patterns walk you through making a stunning top and then leave you on your own when it's time to actually quilt it.
Making a Quilt Plan is the guide I wish I'd had. It's 16 full-color pages that take the mystery out of finishing your quilt, so you can sit down at your sewing machine confident and ready to quilt — not stuck staring at your WIP wondering where to start.
This guide is for the quilter who's ready to stop avoiding the quilting step. The one who wants to make their own plan, give "quilt as desired" a try once and for all, and finish a quilt they're proud of from edge to edge.
What's Inside
The anatomy of a quilt. Understand the parts of your quilt and why each one matters when you're planning.
How to break your quilt into manageable parts. A whole quilt top can feel overwhelming. I'll show you how to break it down so it isn't.
The different quilting styles. Walk through your options so you can choose styles that suit your quilt, your skill level, and your sewing machine.
The tools you need to make a quilt plan. The supplies that actually help you plan (and the ones you can skip).
A practice worksheet. Put what you've learned to work and build your own quilt plan, step by step.
A gallery of finished quilts. See real examples of my own quilts with different quilting styles so you can picture how each one looks in an actual finished project.
