Quilt as Desired is my newest free motion quilting class, and I am so excited to begin this one with you. This project combines skill building with a beautiful finished quilt, and it is a wonderful way to practice free motion quilting without any pressure. Below you will find all the details, the links you may need, and a space to watch the Lesson 1 video.

November 6, 2026 – Early January 2027

Quilt it Already!

I’ve pulled four unfinished quilt tops out of my closet, and we’re finally getting them quilted!

In Quilt It Already!, we’re working through four different quilting projects, planning our designs, exploring free motion quilting techniques, and getting those quilts finished. New lessons are added weekly, and you can join us anytime. Bring your own unfinished quilt tops or use one of the four included PDF patterns!

What Is Quilt as Desired?

Quilt as Desired is a free motion quilting course built around twenty five individual designs.
Each design is stitched on its own practice block. After all twenty five blocks are finished, they are joined together to create a soft, textured rag quilt.

This method turns every bit of practice into something useful and meaningful. The final quilt becomes a record of your progress from the first simple designs to the more advanced textures later in the class.

Why This Project Works So Well

• A collection of twenty five FMQ designs
• A 70″ x 70″ rag quilt
• A strong foundation in free motion quilting
• A quilt that shows your progress from beginning to end
