This video is #2 in a new quilt along series for my Victorian Modern Quilt. I've designed a quilt that will finish about 58" x 76.5" and includes twelve 16" x 16" blocks and some sashing around each block.
Each week (on Thursdays) I will post a new video (and assign some quilt along homework for you) until we finish the entire quilt. Even if you are a beginning quilter you should consider joining in on the fun because this is a very easy quilt to make. No complex patchwork pieces! Just simple squares, rectangles and half-square triangles. I will walk you through every step of the way.
