Chapter 2 of the Swayful Quilty Class is now avail Chapter 2 of the Swayful Quilty Class is now available!

This chapter is all about getting your fabrics ready before we begin sewing. We'll cover fabric placement, choosing a fat quarter pull, exploring color inspiration with Swayful mockups, preparing fabrics with pressing spray, and my favorite paper plate method for organizing blocks.

A little preparation now makes the sewing process so much more enjoyable.
