This week, we’re starting the Little Maple Mini Quilt, a sweet and simple wall hanging that measures about 9" x 18". You’ll love how fast this one comes together. Two maple leaf blocks turned on point, a few half-square triangles, and a pretty hanging detail that makes it perfect for displaying. The first two lessons are already ready for you to dive into:• 🧵 Lesson 30: Project Overview – See the finished mini quilt and learn what you’ll need to get started.• 📄 Lesson 31: Pattern Download and Walkthrough – Grab your pattern and follow along as we walk through each step together. Later this week, I’ll be filming and editing the sewing demos for this project, and the rest of the lessons will be added to the class by early next week. Keep an eye on Quilt Class for updates!
