Let’s make quilts…

Building the Flower Center
We begin by creating the center of the flower.
This step lays the foundation for the entire quilt, and it’s where you start to see your fabric choices come together. The shapes are simple, but they work together to create a soft, structured look that gives the quilt its character.
Take your time here, accuracy matters, especially in a smaller quilt where every detail is more visible.
Adding the Leaves and Stem
Next, we move into the leaves and stem.
This is where the design really starts to feel complete. The addition of these pieces brings balance to the quilt and adds a bit more movement to the overall layout.
You’ll continue using simple piecing techniques, just building on what you’ve already done in the flower center.

Completing the Flower and Adding Borders
In the final lesson of this chapter, we complete the flower and add the borders.
This step frames your design and gives your mini quilt its finished shape. Once the borders are added, your quilt top is complete and ready for the next stage.
It’s always a satisfying moment to see everything come together at this point.
Watching It Come Together
Chapter 2 of the Holding Light Mini Quilt Class is where your project really takes shape.
What started as a stack of fabric pieces in Chapter 1 becomes a finished quilt top, and you can begin to see how everything will come together in the final quilt.
