Fast & Accurate Piecing with Scrappy Star

You know that scrap stash you've been saving for the "right project"? Look no further! Play with color and prints for endless scrappy nine-patch variations. Using the May Chappell Scrappy Star Quilt pattern (downloadable pattern included), you will learn about making accurate square-in-a-square elements and scrappy nine patches. Lee Chappell Monroe is her name and quilt fabric fun is her game. 

Begin the course with a lesson on fabric selection and then work through cutting different size pieces of fabric. Next, Lee shows you how to use chain piecing for speed and accuracy without sacrificing the scrappy goodness of the project. Once you've made your way through accurately cutting your squares and strip sets, it's time to assemble the quilt by organizing and pressing the rows. By the end of the course, you'll have several techniques to add to your quilter's toolkit and a finished project checked off your list.
