Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class Begins May 15
The Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class begins May 15, and Iβm so excited to finally share this new mini quilt with you.
This project is part of my ongoing Book of Many Mini Quilts series, where weβre creating small quilts throughout the year that can be hung, collected, and enjoyed over time. Each mini has its own personality, and Morning Rising brings in a completely different feel with a double-point Dresden plate, straight line quilting, and two different quilting options for finishing the design.
If youβve been wanting to try a Dresden project without committing to a full-size quilt, this is a really approachable place to start.

In this first lesson, Iβm giving an overview of the class, walking through what weβll be making together, and showing some of the quilting and finishing details weβll be using throughout the project.
What Weβll Be Doing in This Class
In the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class, weβll work through the quilt step-by-step together.
Weβll begin by piecing the background block, then move into straight line quilting using a walking foot and a Hera marker. After that, weβll build the double-point Dresden plate and explore two different ways to attach and quilt it.
One option uses more traditional top stitching and seam quilting, while the second option uses free motion quilting with flowing S-curves across the Dresden blades for a softer, more textured look.
To finish the mini, weβll add fabric or ribbon hanging loops so the quilt is ready to go straight onto the wall.
A Confident Beginner Mini Quilt
I would consider Morning Rising a confident beginner project.
The piecing itself is very manageable, but the Dresden construction and quilting details make this a really fun opportunity to stretch your skills a little while still working on a smaller, finishable project.
And because this is a mini quilt, it feels much less overwhelming than jumping into a large quilt with the same techniques.
New Lessons Added Weekly
This class is currently being created in progress, so new lessons will be added weekly as we move through the project together.
You can quilt alongside me in real time or move at your own pace whenever youβre ready.
