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!

Quilt making is the process of thoughtful stitching, design, care, heart, mindfullness and time to create a practical, warm piece of usable art.

My name is Melanie and I'm happy you are here.

Do you make quilts too? I'd love to hear from you.

Do you have a stack of finished quilt tops just waiting to be quilted? I certainly do! And that's exactly why I created **Quilt It Already!**, a new free-motion quilting class at Quilty Class.In this class, we're pulling those unfinished quilt tops out of the closet and finally getting them quilted! We'll explore all-over quilting, custom quilting, different free-motion quilting designs, ruler quilting, and most importantly, how to decide what quilting works best for each quilt.I'll walk you through my quilting decisions, explain why I'm choosing certain designs, and show you how to put those plans into action.**And here's the best part:** You don't have to make the same quilts I'm quilting! Four quilt pattern PDFs are included, but you're welcome to grab a quilt top from your own WIP pile and quilt along with me.🧵 **Class begins November 7, 2026!**New chapters will be released approximately every two weeks through early January. Once complete, the entire class will remain available to work through at your own pace.**Two ways to join:**- Purchase Quilt It Already! individually for lifetime access.- Join Quilty Club and enjoy this class along with the entire Quilty Class library.Come dig through your WIP pile with me. It's time to Quilt It Already!👉 Explore classes and join here: https://quiltyclass.com/
Trying new things. 🙃 Teaching over at Quilty Class has been pushing me, tbh. .I did not like the Peace Lily design at all, but the feathered leaf 😍. I’m on the fence about the tiny hook flowers as a filler. I like the tornados, but much prefer my swirls and pebbles over them. .I’m getting a new class ready now for a 5-quilt FMQ series. Wish me luck!

The pattern includes three sizes: baby, throw, and bed.And once the quilt tops are finished, that's where the fun really begins!**Our first Lulu Louise quilt** is made with Pretty Please fabrics.

Sorry about all the bumping of the camera 🙄 It’s always a battle. This video comes from the Swayful class where we learned how to free motion these swirl flowers. Imma big fan of them. ☺️ Full lessons in the Swayful Quilty class at quiltyclass.com
Another design on this same quilt. This one’s a larger swirl flower with gloppy petals. Full look coming soon. Full class at quiltyclass.com
Omigosh this is my new favorite FMQ design. 👏👏 I’m calling it a feathered leaf 🙃
