Join quilting expert Nancy Scott and learn how to take an older quilt, whether an antique or a vintage favorite, and make a new version of it. You'll learn how to rework it with an easier pattern and simpler construction techniques, plus how to update the fabrics and colors. It's like giving a fresh twist to a classic quilt! After learning the techniques in this class, you will be able to use a classic quilt from your own collection as inspiration to create a new, functional quilt you can use and cherish.
In this video class you'll learn how to:
- Study and measure a vintage quilt to understand the original pattern.
- Update a vintage pattern for easier, modern construction.
- Select fabrics and colors for an updated look.
- Make a tumbling blocks pattern without a Y-seam.
- Cut squares, triangles and diamonds with a rotary cutter and ruler.
- Make a plastic template and cut template shapes.
- Machine applique with fusing and a blanket stitch.
- Finish restyled quilts with quilting, binding and a label.
- Make 3 vintage quilts from the instructor's private collection: Pinwheel Throw, Tumbling Blocks Bed Runner and Orange Peel Bed Quilt.
